VERIFICATION OF QUOTES/FACTS

When your writing includes quotes from sources, Bible quotes, references to historical or current events, or any other information gleaned from your research, you must always verify the quotes or information to be sure it is completely accurate. Misquotes or errors in facts will tarnish your reputation as a writer, as well as upsetting your editor. Editors need to believe you can be trusted to verify everything before submitting your manuscript.

Do not make the mistake of assuming everything you read on the Internet is accurate. Always check additional primary resources to verify that your facts are correct. For tips on verifying your facts, go to: http://stevebuttry.wordpress.com/2010/10/28/tips-on-verifying-facts-and-ensuring-accuracy.
