=12. Preparation of Copy:=

Use a typewriter or write legibly; some one must read your copy.

If you write with a typewriter, double or triple space your copy;
never use single space.

Don't write on more than one side of the paper.

Leave sufficient margin for corrections and leave a space at the top
of the first page for headlines; leave an inch at the top of each
page.

Don't put more than one story on a single sheet of paper.

Don't trust the copy-reader to fill in blanks or to correct
misspelled names. If you write by hand print out proper names as
legibly as possible; underscore _u_ and overscore _n_.

Don't assume that the copy-reader, the proofreader, or the editor
will punctuate for you, or eliminate all superfluous punctuation.

Remember that uniformity is more to be desired than a strict
following of style.

Don't turn in copy without re-reading carefully and verifying all
names and addresses.

Use short paragraphs; always paragraph the lead separately; indent
paragraphs distinctly.

Don't write over figures or words; scratch out and rewrite.

Number your pages; when pages are inserted use letters: pages 2
