Jay has sent me the original documents of the first three Kevinswatch Anthologies.
What I'd like to do is go with Jay's suggestion to combine all three books into a single volume and publish it as a compilation.
I will have to re format the original documents to conform to Lulu.com's current guidelines which are a bit complex and specific.
If there is any interest, I think it would be cool to add a limited number of new stories to the book.
It would give those that hadn't had their stories published in the original anthologies a chance to participate.
If we add new material I would need help with editing as I am terrible with punctuation, sentence structure etc.
See the Kevinswatch Anthology Contributor's guide in the newly resurrected Kevinswatch Anthology Forum for details.
If Ali returns she had volunteered to do editing in a different thread.
All the participants will get proper credits for their participation as was done originally.
The book would be offered as a non profit publication and any charges would be strictly for the cost of creating the book. I would also set it up to be downloaded for free.
Lulu includes a free ISBN so the book would be registered and available to general public.
Its also possible to publish the book as a hardback which is very cool but obviously more expensive to purchase. I'd like everyone's feedback on this issue before we go to publication.
I'd like to have the book completed and available on or before November 1st of this year if possible.
I've always enjoyed working on the Anthology project. The level of talent this group possesses is remarkable.
I am opening up this idea to discussion.
Let me know what you think, your excitement and above all if you have concerns.
Tom
