Hi Jean,
Gary is quite right. No need to put end note numbers in parentheses or
brackets. At the end of the text please make sure that each note is a new
paragraph and that there is a number before the note information.

I've always found placing note numbers in brackets worse than pointless since
it makes the text unclear as to whether you're looking at a list, or it's the
kind of brackets around letters, and is needlessly time consuming. As for the
notes themselves, The usual way they show up in a book should be clear enough
since each note is its own "paragraph" and the notes for particular chapters
usually have a chapter title separated by blank lines below and above.
Just my $.02.

Hi, everyone:
I've checked the proofreading guide and can't find anything relating to end
notes. Is there anything special that needs to be done when proofing a book
with end notes? Should the note appearing in the text be put into parentheses
( ) as we do with footnotes? What about the list of end notes themselves?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Best,
Jean McDonald
