The Copyeditor's Handbook: A Guide for Book Publishing and Corporate Communications, with Exercises and Answer Keys | Amy Einsohn
7 posts | 4 read | 2 reading | 7 to read
"A basic text for beginning copyeditors and a good read for old pros, this handbook will also enlighten any editor contemplating freelance work." -- Margaret Mahan, former Managing Editor, University of Chicago Press, and editor of The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition "The Copyeditor's Handbook brims with valuable information, good advice, and helpful suggestions for novice copyeditors and experienced practitioners. It is comforting to know that current and future copyeditors will be able to turn to this handbook. I'm placing this work, which fills a huge gap in the literature, right beside my dictionary, and will highly recommend it to all my colleagues and students." --Alice Levine, Lecturer, The Denver Publishing Institute, and freelance editor "A definite 'must have' for the beginning to intermediate editor or author, and even the experienced editor. An indispensable reference tool." --Kim Hawley, President, The Chicago Book Clinic "This is the book that every teacher of editing has been waiting for: thorough, clear, authoritative, up-to-date, and sane." --Beth Luey, Director, Scholarly Publishing Program, Arizona State University "This book warms the cockles of the copyediting heart. It is thorough, useful, helpful, and smart. And it fills a huge vacuum." --Constance Hale, author of Sin and Syntax and Wired Style "An excellent resource. The Copyeditor's Handbook should sit on every business editor's shelf, next to the in-house style guide." --Erika Henik, Research Publications Manager, Banc of America Securities LLC

Working on my last and largest copyediting assignment and realizing I have mastered the art of paralyzing self-doubt and second guessing.

Spending a lot of quality time with these over the next few weeks. I've enrolled in a copyediting course through distance learning from Ryerson University. This is my first university course in over 25 years and it's going to work me hard 😳

KassKho I'm also enrolled in the program thought I haven't done this class yet 😊 best of luck! 7y
StaceyKondla @KassKho That's wonderful! Are you taking the publishing certificate through Ryerson? 7y
KassKho Yes! I started last year and so far I've taken 3 or 4 classes? I find there are more classes that I want to take then are required haha 7y
StaceyKondla @KassKho - that is so fantastic! If I didn't have to work full time and money was no object, there are a LOT of courses I'd be taking right now 😂 Such an interesting program! 7y

Finished all my work for the week! Now just wasting time at my desk until it starts snowing enough that I can justify leaving early! ❄️❄️❄️

Today is for homework and 🎃

For those who don't know, I'm currently back in school, brushing up on my editing skills. My course is all about the nitty-gritty of the editorial process in book publishing and beyond. Needless to say, I'm constantly geeking out about it. 🤓

Tav That's a great photo! 7y
