Include a due date tag at the beginning of your title. The format is [Due yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm am/pm time zone]. If there's no due date, use [No due date]. AutoModerator enforces this! Details here.
Please host your writing on Google Docs, and make it shared and commentable. You can do this by clicking the blue Share icon in the top right, then click Get shareable link, and change the pulldown menu from "Anyone with the link can view" to "Anyone with the link can comment".
Get instructor permission for proofreading on classwork. Your teacher/professor may or may not consider the use of a community like r/Proofreading to be contrary to academic integrity. It's your responsibility to verify with the instructor that it's acceptable to do so.
No soliciting. It's great if you get paid for editing or proofreading, but do not advertise your services here. Along the same lines, if you'd like to pay someone, don't offer here.
No proofreading requests for foreign language classes. Read this for more information.

Want to get one of those fancy "Verified Proofreader" tags next to your name? Check out this thread for information and application instructions.
