The developer in me immediately wanted to automate going through the endnotes. One of the bigger requests was that I go through all the book’s endnotes, tag all archival sources that were referenced, and then log the manuscript page the endnote was connected to.Ĭome the weekend, I found that the book had almost a thousand endnotes! It took me over ten minutes to manually get through just fifteen endnotes, and by the end of it, I was finding the task insurmountable. I offered to help with any tasks that didn’t need his direct involvement to complete.

My husband was nearing the deadline to turn in his recent book, and he was under a lot of pressure to finish a detailed manuscript preparation checklist.
