Hi, Suzanne. Since you've been registered as a volunteer, you're ready to go. There is no such job of writing synopses, although we've had discussions before about the possibility of having such a thing and some have expressed an interest in helping with that. You can validate books, though, and for that, you log into your account. Then, you'll see a Step 1 Download and Step 2 Upload link. Click on the download link, and a huge selection of books waiting for validation will come up. Choose your book, download it, and you're ready to go. There is a document including instructions for validation that I have that I can send to you, or someone else can...whichever. Feel free to ask any more questions if you need any more clarification. Take care.

Once I realized there were other jobs people could do, I decided to sign up. I completed the volunteer application form, but am unclear as to what happens now. Will someone be getting in touch with me or should I be doing more? If I'm going to be proofreading books or writing synopses for already-submitted materials, who assigns the books? I read the FAQ section, but either I missed something or that info wasn't there. Any help would be appreciated, as I would really like to help. Thanks.
