Review doesn't meet guidelines for italicizing author's name

Post by masterhawk88 »

An editor just said my review didn't meet guidelines because I italicized the author's name, not just the book title. I've read and reread the guidelines, and don't see anywhere it says ONLY the book name can be italicized. That's a 30 point hit to the editor score.

Can someone explain this to me? Cause I'm pretty cheesed off right now.

According to the guidelines, only book titles should be italicized. The Guidelines clearly say:
Put the book title in italic print
Please this thread for more info: Use underlining, italics, or quotation marks for titles?

Anyway, this isn't the place to discuss issues with the Review Team.
