Hell on Wheels Editing
I’ve been making some progress on a project I started last Autumn called Hell on Wheels: Gun Trucks in Northern New England in 2001. I have scads of material, which is part of the problem. I’m on the fence about what information needs to be in such a guide and how some of that information ought to be presented. It occurred to me that a few of you here might be willing to provide feedback and do a touch of copy editing of a preliminary version. Once I have the text in place, my wife, who is a graphic designer/publisher in the corporate world, will help put the final product together.
Author’s note: this will be different than Turboswede’s excellent Mexican Army Guide. I won’t have anything like the number of photos or some of the other cool factors that make his work so good. I’m more focused on the gun trucks themselves and the factors that led to my version of northern New England being different from the Howling Wilderness version.
When the text (only) is ready, I’ll post it here for serious, constructive feedback. I’ll need comments like “more of this”, “less of this”, and “modify this such that…”
