The mysterious process is made clear. All we need are some volunteers! If you have a manuscript under consideration, just send us the submission number at <a href=\"mailto:e-editors@baen.com\">e-editors@baen.com<\/a>. If you have a new, completed manuscript you\u2019d like to be considered, submit it now and e-mail us the submission number you receive. We will keep the names of the submitters anonymous in all cases. <strong>We need 10 volunteers by April 1 &#8212; no fooling!<\/strong> &#8212; and will livestream the session in May. If no one is brave enough to volunteer, we won\u2019t do it. Stay tuned for details about how and when to watch!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So folks only have 10 more days to volunteer! If you want your manuscript included, send us a note to let us know &#8212; and if you know some writers you think would like to volunteer, <strong>please share this blog post<\/strong> and encourage them to sign up!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, and have an awesome day!<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single
