[First project] Fish preferred

[Michael Young]

I’m considering starting a version of Fish Preferred by P.G. Wodehouse, which was added on Gutenberg last year: 

https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/75435

Is this the kind of thing you're looking for? I’ve produced a couple of books using the Standard Ebooks toolset already (for personal use) but would like to make my first real project.

Great, that one would be a good start.

Should be pretty straightforward. Cut everything up to and including the
ToC.

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

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 follow
it exactly:

https://standardebooks.org/contribute/producing-an-ebook-step-by-step

This page on common issues in older books may be useful:

https://standardebooks.org/contribute/how-tos/common-issues-when-working-on-public-domain-ebooks

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 assign you a manager and reviewer.

Have fun! :)
