Moonlight Blogger: Essays from the Subversive Copy Editor Blog - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

In encouraging copy editors to resist compulsions, banish insecurities, and develop habits of carefulness, transparency, and flexibility, Carol Saller's mission is to show them not how to copyedit, but how to survive while doing so.

This collection of 88 essays appeared between May 2010 and August 2011 at The Subversive Copy Editor blog (www.subversivecopyeditor.com).

CAROL FISHER SALLER is a contributing editor to The Chicago Manual of Style and was chief copyeditor for the 16th edition of the manual and a consultant for the 17th. For many years she edited both The Chicago Manual of Style’s online Q&A and the CMOS Shop Talk blog. Her books include The Subversive Copy Editor as well as several books for children.

Praise for The Subversive Copy Editor (the book)

“Saller writes with wisdom and a great generosity of spirit in this singular survival guide to the copy editor’s trade. . . . An ideal complement to any style guide: practical, relentlessly supportive and full of ed-head laughs.” —Publishers Weekly Web Exclusive Review, Pick of the Week, starred review

“This is the book Oprah would write if her vocation were saving writers from embarrassment, rather than saving the whole world. . . . I think Mr. Bernstein and Messrs. Strunk and White will find Saller to be good company.” —Jennifer Baldarama, New York Times

“An entertaining trip even for those who never plan to lift a red pen or use the editing feature of a word-processing program.” —Thomas Frisbie, Chicago Sun-Times

“The Subversive Copy Editor . . . should be required reading in all creative writing programs. It’s also got lots of good advice about life itself. I read it in one fell swoop.” —ZYZZYVASpeaks

“The Subversive Copy Editor . . . is a delightful book. I haven’t had this much fun reading about things editorial since devouring Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird.” —Stephanie Deming, Science Editor
