Answer/Quote: “Don’t forget the final polish. After
all that work, you finally have an article you’re proud of. But before you
submit it, give it a final polish. Don’t rely on the editor to do all your
fact-checking for you. Double-check the names, titles and quotes. Also check
for needless repetition, transitions and awkward word choices. Finally,
consider snappy sub-heads or other breaks to improve the article’s flow and
organization. Delivering a clean, error-free and eye-catching article will save
your editor some work and encourage him or her to call on you again in the
future.” P. 13.

ready to send it in. RayS.
