A field guide to the trade and art of editing, this book pulls back
the curtain on the day-to-day responsibilities of a literary
magazine editor in their role, and to the specific skills necessary
to read, mark-up and transform a piece of writing. Combining a
break-down of an editor's tasks - including creating a vision,
acquisitions, responding to submissions and corresponding with
authors - with a behind-the-scenes look at manuscripts in progress,
the book rounds up with a test editing section that teaches, by way
of engaging exercises, the nitty-gritty strategies and techniques
for working on all kinds of texts. Generous in its insight and
access to practicing editors' annotations and thought processes,
The Invisible Art of Literary Editing offers an exclusive look at
nonfiction, fiction and poetry manuscripts as they were first
submitted, as they were marked up by an editor and how the final
piece was presented before featuring an interview with the editor
on the choices they made about that piece of work, as well as their
philosophies and working practices in their job. As a skill and a
trade learnt through practice and apprenticeship, this is the
ultimate companion to editing any piece of work, offering
opportunities for learning-by-doing through exercises, reflections
and cases studies, and inviting readers to embody the role of an
editor to improve their craft and demystify the processes involved
in this exciting and highly coveted profession.
