The Wheels Are In Motion

As expected, we have been inundated with chapters and are now methodically going through each email, checking our list, counting words and updating our status sheet. Obviously with such a large number of contributions, it takes some management!

Our process is looking like this. When we receive your chapter you will receive a confirmation email from Drew or from Gavin and Drew. All we are saying is that we “received it”.

Then, your document is uploaded to Google Docs where it is checked for word length. We also check that you have a title and that the URL matches the last web address that we have for you. All this is confirmed in another email. If your word length is over (even just a little), you will receive an email asking you to cut it down. We then update, again, our status spreadsheet.

After all the documents have been loaded and checked, we will go back through the new emails taking in any changes to title, word length and URL. At that point, no more changes can be made to your chapter.

If you have NOT received emails, don’t worry. There are many chapters to get through and we will get through them all!
