Extractions: July 1988 - February 1993 Summary: When one becomes part of an institution as large and venerable as the Time-Life empire, a great deal of tradition and established procedure must be mastered. Along with learning my role in the operation, I also learned much about how editorial decisions are made, factors that affect what goes on the cover, the way Time's network of foreign correspondents is used, the value of research, and the interplay between powerful editors and powerful writers. At smaller publications, such as MIS Week , a copy editor gets to do some of everything: write headlines and captions, select and crop photos, design pages, cut stories to fit, and even write articles. At an organization as large as Time's , everything is specialized, and copy editors basically do nothing but copy editing (and some proofreading). However, this specialization, combined with a large staff and a leisurely weekly deadline (as opposed to a daily deadline) allows copy editors to devote a great amount of attention to detail. I was assigned to create the punctuation section for the revised house stylebook. After several weeks of research, I submitted a draft, on which I solicited comments and which I then saw through two revisions.

http://chronicle.com/jobs/2002/03/2002032601c.htm

Extractions: When you were in elementary school you probably scored well on standardized reading tests. In high school teachers praised your writing skills. In college you learned to churn out a five-page paper in a few hours. Sure, when you got to graduate school you had some anxious moments, especially when you sat down at a blank screen or piece of paper. Writing isn't necessarily easy, but you know how to do it. No one has ever said to you, after reading the finished product, "You are a lousy writer." If this story describes you, as it does me, then you are a typical academic. The amount you write never seems enough, but there's no "problem" with your style. You're a good writer. At the same time, academic writing is a stereotyped joke a museum of passive voice, obscure jargon, and stilted phrasings. I doubt there is a single discipline, even among those associated with the arts, whose articles are read for the pleasure of the language and the clarity of the rhetoric. How can this be, if our writing styles are not a problem? Is there some mysterious gap between the individual and the collective? I think our writing suffers precisely because no one ever says to us, this is unsatisfactory, you need to work on your writing. And so we don't. The last time most of us thought explicitly about our style was probably in a college expository-writing course, in which we did well. Since then we've stuck with pretty much whatever style we managed to craft in our first year of college.
