* We do not presume that all
copy is perfect and ready to typeset. We check it for typographical
issues: no space before punctuation, except periods in the case
of ellipses, double spaces to single spaces, typographic quotation
marks, double dashes for em dashes, etc. We correct for widows and
rivers. We will keep italics, and advise regarding idiosyncratic
spelling and type effects. All of which means we work with a printout
of your manuscript, page by page. Manuscripts that require extra
work or have special typographic and textual issues such as notes,
indexes, a complex hierarchy of headers or paragraphs, or design
issues take extra time. |
