Instructions for writers

You've written a chapter, and would like someone to review it.

1. Make sure the file name follows the naming conventions.
2. Submit the document.
3. Send an email to the list.

When someone reviews your chapter, you should see an email on the list with a subject including the name of the chapter

You will find the reviewed document in the appropriate Feedback folder.

Go through the chapter accepting or rejecting the reviewer's changes and making any revisions necessary in response to comments. Feel free to ask questions if you don't understand a comment or change or think it may be incorrect.

When you have completed revising the chapter, save it with a new filename (according to the naming conventions) and upload it to the Drafts folder for the relevant book. Then submit it for review again and send a note to the list, or (if you think it is ready to be published) send a note to the list with "Ping: Editor" in the subject line.
