So quick question (as I wait on late submissions) throughout this thread lots of people offered to help with editing, who is still up for helping out? I know over two months life can change and less free time. Either leave a message here or email me at makesomethingmag AT gmail
If you're part of those late folks, if I have a method of contacting you I will be here in a few otherwise, please CONTACT ME. Even if it's to say, "shit, I'm out", I'd like to know how many pages still need to be filled.
I wasn't one of the folks who originally offered editing assistance, but I'd love to lend a hand, should you need one.
Full disclosure, I'm Danish, so English isn't my first language (...obviously). I'd call myself fluent, though. And I've proofread English texts before.
@oldhat Try copy/pasting all articles into individual files and only comp them together at the end. This way you reduce your risk of file corruption and when something does go bad it’s easy to find the cause of the problem/
At present there are 9 pages that need to be filled, plus a back cover image. This is counting @oldhat's contribution which is just hitting technical snafus. I'll be sending out things to editors either late Sunday night or Monday afternoon.
If anyone has something they would like to contribute and can do so in short notice please do, at worse I put it in the second issue instead.
@lampcommander, I don't believe I have your email, could you contact me one way or another so I know? thanks.
In general news everything is going through editing right now, have two more pieces that need to be looked at, and waiting to hear back from one of the editors. So things should still be all done and magazine should be out by end of the month. Yay!
@Allen & everyone: I've been and will be out of contact for a little while, but this sounds like a very neat project. SO, count me in... someday. :) Can't wait to see issue 1!!!
