I just spoke to Alda—as far as I can tell, she called as soon as she saw my email and had the phone number (which she could have gotten from Carol, but never mind), without even looking at my resume. The work seems plausible, and it seems likely that I'll get it.
Basically, they'd be emailing me PDFs, for me to fax back (which means going to the friendly stationery shop over on Broadway). There would be some tight deadlines, and if I get this, I'll tell them when I [know I] will be unavailable (travel, in particular). There might also be some copyediting work in the future, depending on their workload and whether their regular copyeditor is available.
Alda's boss is out today, but she said I'd hear back next week, after she talks to him, and there might be work very soon.
