[First project] Beyond Life by James Branch Cabell

[Peter Buxton]

I completed a transcription of Beyond Life a while ago and published the EPUB on archive.org (CC-by-SA 4.0):

https://archive.org/details/cabell-james-branch.-beyond-life

My sources are listed in the EPUB (both also taken from archive.org). About the only work it needs, I think, is an ONIX file and a bit of shuffling of the file locations.

Thanks for reading.

That's great! If you'd like to work on this for Standard Ebooks, let us
know.

I took a look at your epub (thanks for your work!) and your internal style is quite different from the SE house style. If you were to convert this to an SE project, you would still follow the step by step guide, only instead of splitting a Project Gutenberg text, you would copy over the HTML body of each section (apart from some things like your production notes and the copyright page). Judging from experience, converting your epub to SE style would take about as much work as converting a Project Gutenberg text. Alex (the head editor) will be able to speak as to whether this would make for a good first project.

Well, I guess Alex spoke :) But I think my practical advice still stands.
