Swanwick's "Tumbling"
Thanks for adding a publication record for this work. There are a few problems with the record as submitted which I will correct based on the ISFDB entry standards, most of which can be found on this help page.


 * Authors names should be given as they are credited, so I'll change "Swanwick, Michael" to so that this work will appear with all of his other works on a single author page.
 * When giving publication dates, we try to be as specific as possible. So looking at the author's blog, I see he announced the publication on November 11, 2013, which is entered into the publication record in the format YYYY-MM-DD: 2013-11-11.
 * The page count field should give the number of pages, without description. We ordinarily do not count the front and back covers of a publication (except for magazines). The publisher calls it a twelve "page" short story. Because of the unusual circumstances of this publication, I'll let your 14 page count remain, but remove the description. I've moved the description to the Note field.
 * When entering the Price field, you should enter both dollars and cents, so I've changed it from "$10" to "$10.00".
 * CHAPTERBOOK-typed records require a content record. I've added a SHORTFICTION content record of the same title as the publication.
 * One last point: the files which are linked in the Image URL field draw bandwidth from the server which hosts the file. Because many websites refuse to handle such "deep-linking", we are required to have explicit permission from the owner of the website hosting the image file. I'm assuming you are the owner of www.lawrenceperson.com and can give us this permission, with the knowledge that each time an ISFDB user visits this publication's page, the file on your website will be accessed and displayed on the ISFDB, drawing bandwidth from your website's server. If you do not wish this, you can upload the image to the ISFDB server, keeping the uploaded file to the upload standards of no larger than 150 kb, and no more than 600 pixels dimensions on the longest side.
