Spec Sheet Creator/ Spec Sheet Reviewer Volunteer Resources

Project Spec Sheet Creator/Reviewer volunteers will work with staff and a team of pre-production volunteers on writing and reviewing project Mark-Up Guidelines with the Project Spec Sheets, and PDF Bookmarking. The Project Spec Sheet Mark-Up guidelines are posted instructions for individual Classic Audio textbooks. Each project has its own set of instructions which provide guidance on how to handle major sections, identify patterns and common elements, provide details on how to identify special exceptions, and how to handle unique elements within the book. The Project Spec Sheets help provide continuity and consistency for production volunteers all across the country that may be working on the same project.
