copy editing honestyPositions Available: 1 We expect the student to produce a clean transcript from a public recording of a keynote address provided to the 2022 meeting of the Association for Philosophy and Literature. Though the transcript need not be verbatim (some additions and alterations may be required as a matter of clarity) but it must be faithful to the talk and receive author approval. This text will serve as the opening chapter for the upcoming edited volume of Textures, a book series published by Rowman and Littlefield.
This project involves producing a clean transcript from a public recording of a keynote address provided to the 2022 meeting of the Association for Philosophy and Literature. This transcript will be included in an upcoming edited volume of the book series "Textures." On top of producing a transcript, the project requires working with the author as well as the editors of the volume to ensure the transcript accurately represents the author's intent. Other tasks will involve copy-editing other contributions to the volume, including formatting these texts, as well as working on the creation of an index, and securing permissions required for the publication of any images, selections, etc.
As co-editor of the volume I will supervise the student throughout the project, including liaising with the author of the talk, co-ordinating all interactions between the author and our editorial assistant, as well overseeing the production and editing of all documents. I will also provide access to the recordings, software suitable for the production/editing of all documents, and any other hardware that might be necessary to accomplish these tasks.
