    Book description

    Editing Fact and Fiction is a concise, practical guide for people interested in book publishing or already working as editors who want to learn more about the opportunities in various kinds of book editing. Written in a lively, informal style, two editors with extensive experience in a wide variety of fields - fiction and nonfiction, trade and reference, academic and commercial publishing - explain what editors in different jobs really do. This is a book to be read, not just referred to. It will be an indispensable guide for anyone thinking about making a career in book publishing, a valuable resource for editors working in publishing who want to enlarge their knowledge, and a useful tool for senior editors in training their staff.

    Reviews

    ‘ … [the authors] have written by far the most complete manual for editors ever published, and they have spiced it with dozens of examples, taken from life, that will delight everyone who has had or is about to have a career in publishing.’

    Richard Marek - President, Marek & Charles
