Time spent that does not save much money
- Polish the prose. Read your manuscript out loud. Make sure your sentences are complete thoughts and that they say what you mean to say. If the writing is not clear, we have to spend a considerable amount of time trying to figure out what you mean.
- Check your citations: Are they in the reference list? Are they spelled right? Are all the authors listed? Is the year right? Don't worry about the use of "et al." if you don't have a firm grasp on its use.
- Check your references: Are they cited in the text? Do the journal articles and book chapters have a page range, not just the first page? Have you listed all of the authors?
- Make sure every table, figure, and appendix is mentioned in the text and that that each has a title.
- Don't spend time on the table of contents or lists of tables and figures. Unless you know how to make Word insert an automatic table of contents, we will delete whatever you do and start from scratch. Doing so takes very little time and produces much better results than the manual method.
- Don't set up your tables with spaces. If you don't know how to use Word's table feature, insert the data with tabs separating the columns and do nothing more. We will convert the tabs to a Word table and format it to conform to the guidelines.
- Don't use carriage returns or tabs to make a paragraph look the way you want it to look. If you can't figure it out, leave it as a block paragraph and we will format it using the robust tools provided by Word.
There may be other charges, such as return shipping and reprinting. We will discuss those charges with you before they are incurred.
