I would like to edit and submit a copy of Ralestones Luck by Andre Norton.

Would you please advise how to proceed. I have used Sigil previously for my ebooks.

Thank you

Great, that one would be a good start.

Remove the illustrations. There's a dedication and epigraph as front
matter, then you'll add the half title after that. Otherwise, not much
else of note.

We don't use Sigil to produce our ebooks, you'll have to use our command
line toolset. But the filesystem layout is similar to something Sigil
might output. Please don't use Sigil to edit the book, as it will add
all kinds of classes and formats that we don't want.

Make sure to read the Standard Ebooks Manual of Style before starting,
as you won't know what to fix if you haven't read the standards. In
particular, please closely review the semantics, high level patterns,
and typography sections:

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/4-semantics

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/7-high-level-structural-patterns

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/8-typography

The step by step guide will take you from start to finish:

Please email often if you have any questions at all. Our standards are
well-established so there is probably already a standard for formatting
whatever problem you've encountered.

When you're ready, email back with a link to your Github repository so
that I can mark you as having started.

Have fun! :)
