Hi Lori,
Oh, I agree it's a bummer to reject the book, but definitely way too
much work to have to insert quotation marks. I am curious as to why
and how they were removed. I'll never know, but it's very odd.
Hope you find another book to proofread that you enjoy soon!

Mayrie, That was a helpful thought, but unfortunately it is not the
case with this book.
I decided to see if I could get some information from google.books. I
pulled up two sentences that I thought should be in quotations. They
were in quotations on google books, but not in the book I'm proofreading.
Unfortunately, I have decided to reject the book. In order to create
an accurate copy someone would have to make many comparisons between
the print book and the bookshare copy.
Sad because it is a very interesting book.
Thanks again for your suggestion.
Lori

Hi Lori,
You might look at the font of the book you're working with. I
have proofread a couple of books where the conversation isn't in
quotes, but that text is either bolded or italicized. Is that
maybe the case with your book? Just a suggestion.
Sorry, I don't know how to contact either of the folks that you
want to contact.
Good luck and happy proofreading!

Hi, Everyone,
Does anyone know how to contact Sister M. Delores Dean?
I am proofreading one of her submissions and am puzzled. The
book does not use quotations around statements that seem to be
quotations.
This is the second book in a week where I have needed to reach
the submitter and have had no way of doing so. I contacted
Carrie and Scott about the first instance, as well as this list,
but because of their work load I have heard nothing.
So if anyone knows how to reach either Casey Matthews or Sister
M. Delores Dean I would appreciate knowing.
Lori C.
