Manuscripts
I fix spelling, punctuation, and grammar following conventional rules.

I check that all text, captions, illustrations, etc. are formatted correctly and that captions and headers match graphs, charts, and illustrations.
​
I verify pagination matches any table of contents list.
​
I proof both front and end matter (e.g., the copyright page and any appendices).
