Hi.

I want to keep everyone updated on our project's progress. There have been 49 submissions so far and they have been really terrific. This is shaping up into a quality volume.

Since so many contributors are struggling with meeting deadlines for their submissions, I suspect to finish compiling and editing within the next couple of months. I am not stressed about time, especially since spreading out the editing is easier on my time. If you haven't submitted your story to me yet, please do so when you can. Do me a favor and respond to this message to give me an idea of where you are in the process.

Some of you are still working on edits. Please also get those to me when you can. It helps if you mark (on my copy) edits and additions in red so that they are easier for me to spot. Again, let me know when you think you can accomplish it.

Some receiving this were unsure whether they would be able to participate. Let me know, if you think you will be able to contribute.

I'm excited about the project and look forward to publishing and delivering a copy to each of you.

Thanks again.

Best,

Marc
