All good things…

A (final?) addition to the ongoing list of projects I have worked on for Standard ebooks and work has ground to a halt. I did exactly one book last year and that was Orlando, another collab between L and I—I did the  mechanical stuff and she did the editorial.

Its not quite the end but I’ve been so busy doing books at Orca that I don’t have much free time (or energy) left to do volunteer work at Standard. My output had trickled to a stop, The Manual of Style had gone through multiple iterations without me keeping up on changes and I was becoming less and less confident in my ability to make good decisions. As a result I decided to step down from the editorial position at the beginning of the year. A screenshot as a final memento…

Hopefully I will eventually free up some time and mental space and add some more books—I have a few plays I really want to add.

As usual the full (and up-to-date) list can be seen over at astart.ca/publishing/ebooks/.

Here’s what I’ve added since the last update:

As always I really encourage you to go take a look and enjoy some of the books. And consider contributing if that tickles your fancy. It’s not really that hard once you learn the basics. I even wrote a beginners’ guide to help out: Standard Ebooks Hints and Tricks.

Wow. it’s been a while since I added to this ongoing list of projects I have worked on for Standard ebooks. I believe I am currently working on book #40.

As usual the full (and up-to-date) list can be seen over at astart.ca/publishing/ebooks/. I have managed to “finish” the entire Wodehouse short story collection. Of course the silly bugger kept writing until the 60s so I will have more stories to add every year as they enter the public domain. And it’s important to note that Mrs Dalloway was a collab between L and I—I did the  mechanical stuff and she did the editorial.

I enjoy doing the plays and am aiming to have a complete sample of English drama through the ages. I am almost there  and just need to add some pre-Elizabethan drama and maybe something turn of the 18th century (not that there is much to choose from). Things slow down a lot when I do fiction as I am a slow proofer (I tend to read instead), so that’s one reason for doing the short story collections—easier to do in fits and starts.
