icarusWell, shoot.
In a moment of wankiness, a copyeditor just flounced from a Buddhist project of the nuns' in India. It pays exactly zero, so the editors can be as temperamental as they like.
But now I need a new copyeditor.

There haven't been a lot of discussions about the style, but the copy editors seem to have used Chicago rather than AP. It's not for submission but for publication by the monastery in India.
A new copy editor flounced. The previous copy editor works for the US government and is simply unavailable.
