warned before suspension

Post by raywinters »

I have had most of my initial drafts rejected for minor grammatical errors. The second drafts have all been accepted. If I am in danger of suspension, will I be given a warning?

As I recall, most rejection notices come with a stock warning along the lines of "frequent rejections could lead to account suspension." I don't think CC gives a warning other than that. Minor errors probably won't get you suspended at first, but if every article you submit has to be returned due to careless proofreading, you could run into trouble after a while. CC expects "publication ready" content and for all writers to "self edit" so make sure that you take even more time proofreading and editing than you have in the past. Pay special attention to the types of errors your past articles have had and show the review team that you have taken their concerns seriously. If you do this and are able to consistently get your articles accepted without revision requests, you'll have nothing to fear.
