Volunteers required for Something a Bit Different

[Bluecube]

I did miss that, thank you. Perhaps I should better phrase my question.

Is the second book a continuation of the first

In the same way star wars and empire strikes back are, eg: you can watch empire without having seen star wars and it's a good film, but its so much better when you know the back ground of star wars.

Book 2 is a continuation of the first but I think it can be read without feeling you've missed to much from the first. Of course, this is my opinion and why I need people to proofread it and give feedback and tell me if I'm wrong!

Hey mate,

I'd be up for giving it a read, I'll pm you my email addy

[g8ina]

Errr, before you all get too excited, have any of you actually "proof read" a book properly before??

Trust me when I say it won't be a 2 hour read ! I have edited and proof read 2 vols of my ma in laws autobiography now, and it took me 12 hours for each book. You'll also need to make notes as you go.

I don't mean to pour cold water on anyone's efforts or offers, but there is sooo much more to pruf ritting than meets the eye !

Good Luck with the books anyway

[dave87]

Not proof read an entire book, but have proof read articles.

Yes it certainly does take some time, but that's not to say it isn't enjoyable at the same time.

OK. That's enough volunteers! I'm overwhelmed by the response I've had! Thanks very much to everyone and I expect to hear how everyone got on with it...

Ta again!

If you weren't aware, I was actually joking. I think it's apparent that a post unaccompanied by a smiley of some form is taken in the literal sense. Shame.

Eh? I think there's some sort of plot hole here.

[JK Ferret]

hmm, the offer still open? i could always do with reading new stuff

[Bluecube]

Howdy again folks. It'll be a week tomorrow that I started this thread so I'm wondering how everyone's getting on with their proofing... I imagine you'll have read a few chapters by now at least soooo.... first impressions? Any obvious plot holes, dislikes, WTF moments?

[Behemoth]

PM'ing you my e-mail address also, I fany reading a good sci fi

[Bluecube]

Any scathing criticisms anyone?

[IBM]

OOOoooooh, it's scarily quiet....

Nervous enough yet Bluecube?

[Bluecube]
