[First Project] Living Alone by Stella Benson

[Magnus Medin]

Hi,

I'd like to work on Living Alone by Stella Benson (which is on the list of wanted ebooks) as my first project.

Project Gutenberg: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/14907

Scans: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015012352152

Thanks!

Great, that one would be a good start.

This book has a preface, acknowledgements, and a poem epigraph, so
you'll add a half title page after the epigraph. Otherwise this will be
pretty straight forward.

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! :)

Thanks for the advice. I have read through the manual and created a GitHub repo with an initial commit as per the guide. It should be accessible at https://github.com/magnusmedin/stella-benson_living-alone.

OK, Vince will manage with Robin reviewing.
