2007 NSS Speleo Digest Editor Wanted
By: Scott Fee (Birmingham, Alabama)

The Speleo Digest is the one of the most popular books the NSS
publishes, and certainly the most unusual. You've probably got at least
one on your bookshelf. (If you don?t, then why not?) The Speleo Digest
showcases the best in caving articles, artwork, humor, prose and
cartoons from an entire year's worth of grotto newsletters. This is by
far the best way for you to keep up with developments in caving around
the nation and even the globe.
But.....we've come to a standstill. I'm looking for an editor for the
2007 Speleo Digest. Yes, it is a bunch of work, and producing an issue
will occupy your time for many months -- BUT it is a fun and
interesting project (I know -- I've worked on or edited at least five
issues) and not to mention you will get in touch with a lot of cavers
around the country, and your name will be listed as Editor on the
inside cover of a 500+ page book. Naturally, you could do it yourself,
but it would make a great grotto project with three or four dedicated
members helping you out.
Each Editor is responsible for selecting articles and other items to be
included in the Speleo Digest, gathering the articles, graphics, photos,
and what not, and producing the books final manuscript. The Series
Editor (that would be me) is there to help and guide you as well as
overseeing publishing of the book once the manuscript has been
completed. Of course you may delegate tasks to a committee of
assistants.
Interested? Got the time, a computer, and an aptitude for desktop
publishing? Willing to round up and lead a production team utilizing
some of your caver buddies? Please contact me! Scott Fee scottfee at

The NSS needs your help! Permission is given to circulate this
announcement on any caving related forum.
