( ) Most books about editing will give the reader tips on how to wrestle with tricky writing issues. This book about editing gives the reader tips on how to wrestle with tricky writing issues AND how to resolve interpersonal issues that may arise between writers and editors. I found this book compulsively readable (it came with me everywhere until I finished it), occasionally laugh-out-loud funny, and above all revitalizing. Making the switch from translating (a largely solitary profession) to editing (a somewhat less solitary profession in my particular case, working in-house) has required me to re-learn how to deal with people, and this book is exactly what I needed to read at this stage of my career.

Longtime manuscript editor and Chicago Manual of Style guru Carol Fisher Saller has negotiated many a standoff between a writer and editor refusing to compromise on the "rights" and "wrongs" of prose styling. Saller realized that when these sides squared off, it was often the reader who lost. In her search for practical strategies for keeping the peace, The Subversive Copy Editor was born. Saller's ideas struck a chord, and the little book with big advice quickly became a must-have reference for copy editors everywhere. In this second edition, Saller adds new chapters, on the dangers of allegiance to outdated grammar and style rules and on ways to stay current in language and technology. She expands her advice for writers on formatting manuscripts for publication, on self-editing, and on how not to be "difficult." Saller's own gaffes provide firsthand (and sometimes humorous) examples of exactly what not to do. The revised content reflects today's publishing practices while retaining the self-deprecating tone and sharp humor that helped make the first edition so popular. Saller maintains that through carefulness, transparency, and flexibility, editors can build trust and cooperation with writers. The Subversive Copy Editor brings a refreshingly levelheaded approach to the classic battle between writers and editors. This sage advice will prove useful and entertaining to anyone charged with the sometimes perilous task of improving the writing of others. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
