Product Details
Since 1962 Editors on Editing has been an indispensable guide for editors, would-be editors, and especially writers who want to understand the publishing process. In this completely revised edition, thirty-nine of America’s most distinguished editors write with insight and candor about both the practical and the theoretical aspects of publishing. Editors on Editing includes essays on:

the ethical and moral dimensions of editing;

how books are chosen;

what an editor looks for in a query letter, proposal, and manuscript;

line editing, copy editing, and freelance editing;

making the most of writers’ conferences;

the question of “political correctness”;

plus numerous other pieces and an annotated bibliography that provide a fascinating, provocative, and sometimes controversial inside look at the editorial process.
