1. Type EDWI REVIEW on the subject line of the e-mail.

2. In the body of your e-mail, type the questions you want answered. Remember that we do not proofread papers, so you will need to direct our attention to the aspects of the paper that concern you.

3. Be sure to give your telephone number in your e-mail message and include the area code.

After we have read your e-mail, we will send a response by e-mail. Responses often include electronic notes in the margins of your document, and will we send a document with instructions for managing the electronic notes.
