The snitch book (make that anti<\/i>-snitch book) just came back from the Helpful Volunteer Proofreader. I just need to input his changes, send the doc back for one more eagle-eyeballing, then it’s off to layout.<\/p>\n
Now I’ve got a question for those who contributed. <\/p>\n
I originally intended to have an acknowledgment page crediting everybody (by nym, not name) who helped with the book. But virtually every person I’ve asked has said, “Don’t mention me!!!”<\/p>\n
So my plan is to make a general acknowledgement to the helpful Living Freedom Commentariat — and as a matter of fact, the commentariat is listed as co-author. <\/p>\n
OTOH, certain specific items — ones that people wrote especially for the book or ones that were publicly posted in blog comments — I have credited to their authors in the text. <\/p>\n
The credits are entirely by nym, not real name. The only real names going into this book are mine, Jim Bovard’s (quoting a Playboy<\/i> article he wrote), and those of several snitches and victims whose stories are already well-known (e.g. the infamous faux-anarchist snitch Bob Black<\/a> and his victim Jim Hogshire).<\/p>\n So to the question: If you helped on the book, or even just posted “how to deal with snitch” comments on earlier blog entries — is this plan okay with you? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The snitch book (make that anti-snitch book) just came back from the Helpful Volunteer Proofreader.
