Genesis - 2 Samuel, Esther - Isaiah, and Hosea - Revelation of the World English Bible <[link]> are now

Grace, mercy and peace to you!

The main manual editing pass has been done for 1 Samuel, and it is
"essentially done". By that, we mean that it is stable (only small
changes are likely from here on out, if any), and that we have a
high confidence in not only its accuracy but its readability by
