Article Rejected for Run-on Sentences

Post by Hthorn26 »

Ok, I haven't written anything since college (10 years ago!), so I am a little rusty. I have seen the error and fixed it. I am just wondering if there was more wrong with it, Ed would have mentioned it, right? I don't want to have another rejection over grammar or clarity or something else.

Any help would be appreciated! I am still learning how this all works!

Thanks,

Heidi

Sometimes Ed stops once he finds an error so you should probably go over your entire article with a fine-toothed comb before resubmitting. I always prrof my articles a zillion times before handing them in. It may be a little time-consuming but so much better than getting a rejection :)

Thanks, Debbie. I will look it over again, but the sentence that was the run-on was in the last paragraph of my article. He didn't make any other comments about my writing. I think I am good, but I will still look it over a few more times!
