Anthology Update

For those who missed the Feb. 3 meeting, the following is an abbreviated outline of what needs to be done to complete the anthology:

1. The copy needs to be retyped with the corrections made at the proofing session. [Most of this is done.]

2. Each author will receive their work in a folder to review the changes that were made at the proofing session. Also included in the folder is a sheet of proofreader marks; please use those marks when making any corrections. Whether or not you make changes, please initial each page and return the folder to Ruth. [In progress.]

3. Once everyone has signed off on their own work, we will repeat the process of the first proofing session: each piece will be read by two people (not the authors). A third person, a former editor, will also review the entire manuscript.

4. Repeat step 2.

5. Decide on a title and the order of the pieces. [In progress.]

6. All the copy gets turned over to a professional designer, Nicole. She will add the cover, title page, page numbers, table of contents, etc.

7. The club will review the entire, formatted manuscript one more time before Nicole uploads the manuscript to Lulu.

8. Party?
