To Seelangers:
We are in the final stages of readying for publication a truly
excellent collection of modern Russian short stories in English
translation, by some of Russia's greatest living writers. It is called
"Life Stories." You can read more about it at www.storiesforgood.org
"Life Stories" is unique in that ALL proceeds from sales will go to
benefit Russian hospice - needless to say, a nascent and struggling
sphere. EVERY aspect of the creative work on this volume has been
contributed without compensation, that of the authors as well as the
translators (in all: 320 pages, 105,000 words).
The stories have been edited and are in layout. We are looking for a
qualified, experienced, public-spirited proofreader who is willing to
read the work in layout for consistency, grammar, punctuation, the
usual. And of course do it as a personal contribution to this mutual
effort.
This is a really wonderful collection of stories and will not only
benefit a worthy cause, but hopefully open new doors for many into the
richness of modern Russian literature.
If you are interested and able to contribute to this work in this way,
please contact me by email, off list.
Thank you,
Paul Richardson
