Excel at editing! The editor's job encompasses much more than
correcting commas and catching typos. Your chief mission is to help
writers communicate effectively--which is no small feat. Whether
you edit books, magazines, newspapers, or online publications, your
ability to develop clear, concise, and focused writing is the key
to your success. The Editor's Companion is an invaluable guide to
honing your editing skills. You'll learn about editing for:
CONTENT: Analyze and develop writing that is appealing and
appropriate for the intended audience. FOCUS: Ensure strong
beginnings and satisfying endings, and stick with one subject at a
time. PRECISE LANGUAGE: Choose the right words, the right voice,
and the right tense for every piece. GRAMMAR: Recognize common
mistakes in punctuation, parts of speech, and sentence
structure--and learn how to avoid them. You'll also find valuable
editing resources and checklists, advice on editorial relationships
and workflow, and real-life samples of editing with explanations of
what was changed and why. The Editor's Companion provides the tools
you need to pursue high quality in editing, writing, and
publishing--every piece, every time.
There are always at least two viewpoints to every story and yet, we
usually only hear one. A different perspective can provide an
entirely different story than the commonly known tale; the other
side of the looking glass, so to speak. This year, our anthology
series continues with volume 4: At Second Glance, an anthology
dedicated to exploring those alternate angles. Inside you'll find
exciting new tales by established authors such as Felice Picano, as
well as stories from emerging writers like Ann Herendeen, Evan J.
Peterson, Casondra Brewster and Louis Flint Ceci. Readers will even
find a piece from our volume editor, Eric Andrews-Katz. From comic
art to playscript, from mythology to modern fantasy; all the pieces
take the reader forward by glancing back.
