Editing

In accordance with Cascadilla’s policies for conference proceedings, the editors will check for formatting errors only – papers will not be proofread or copy edited.

If your paper does not conform to the style and formatting requirements, we will ask you to make changes and submit a new PDF file.  Expect to hear from us in the first instance by the end of June.

The style sheet and submission timeline are set by the publishers and will be strictly enforced.  Papers received after the deadline may be rejected.

To finalise your submission, you will need to mail a checked and signed final printout of your PDF to the above address.

On behalf of the conference organisers and the Proceedings editors, with thanks for your participation in WCCFL 36,

Richard Stockwell
