Summary:
"[This
book
] gathers essays from twenty-seven leading figures in
book
publishing about their work. Representing both large houses and small, and encompassing trade, textbook, academic, and childrens publishing, the contributors make the case for why
editing
remains a vital function to writersand readerseverywhere. Ironically for an industry built on words, there has been a scarcity of written guidance on how to actually approach the work of
editing
. This
book
will serve as a compendium of professional advice and will be a resource both for those entering the profession (or already in it) and for those outside publishing who seek an understanding of it. It sheds light on how
editors
acquire books,
what
constitutes a strong author-editor relationship, and the
editors
vital role at each stage of the publishing processa role that extends far beyond marking up the authors text. This collection treats
editing
as both
art
and
craft
, and also as a career. It explores how
editors
balance passion against the economic realities of publishing."--Provided by publisher.
