Hi everyone!
Here is an example from a book I proofed to show how I handle picture captions. It was "In Her Own Voice" by Hayley Westenra. The words "above" and below" were part of the caption printed in the book. 

[There are two pictures on this page.]

[picture captions:]

Above: The littlest star: my performing debut, aged six

Below: Captivating the audience with my new microphone

[End of captions.]

I enjoyed that book.

When there is a picture caption, I do the words picture caption in brackets, then the rest as in print in the book. An example: 

[picture caption] She could not believe what she saw down the hall!

Mayrie,
Does this apply even if the book has a printed picture caption? Include the printed words in the brackets? 

Thanks,

Pam

Hi Charisma,

I answered this question in my previous note, but in case it helps to say it
twice, please surround picture captions with brackets like this:
[Picture Caption: A man walking a dog.]
Hope that helps.

Mayrie

Sorry, another question I thought of regarding photos after I hit send:

How do we mark the photo section? I mean, as is, all of the sudden the text
is going to be interupted with little photo caption blurbs that make no
sense where they are.

Thanks
