If you re a first-time author, knowing what your publisher wants from you is an important part of creating a successful publishing experience. Make sure that you ve used a consistent voice. Review your figure references. Be sure to number figures and captions as appropriate both in the text and in the figure caption. Check your intros and conclusions.
Publishers often have preferences for the way chapter introductions and conclusions are handled.
Before you submit, do a quick check of all chapter openings and closings to make sure you ve got the right style. Take a look at your tables. If you ve used graphics in your tables, be sure to send along copies of the graphics files you re your submitted chapter. This may seem obvious, but you d be amazed how many of us forget this. Typos aren t the end of the world, but too many of them can interrupt your reader and cause misunderstandings.
