Copyediting Services: Editors' Frequently Asked Questions A Few Words on Your Words 1. Will my journal be given to a number of copy editors, or will one person work exclusively on my journal? Copy editors are assigned particular journals that they get all the time. Every journal has at least one primary copy editor (if it's a monthly journal, as many as six copy editors may work on it) and one backup copy editor. The backup copy editor receives smaller batches of manuscript to keep his or her hand in and steps in if the primary copy editor is unavailable. 2. Does Allen Press have freelance copy editors or staff copy editors? We have about twenty freelance copy editors. Three Copyediting Coordinators are employed full-time to oversee the copyediting area and parcel out work. They prepare detailed style guidelines for each journal and evaluate and orient copyediting contractors. These three people may copyedit small jobs, rush jobs, and bids in addition to their other duties. 3. What quality control measures are in place? Contractors new to contracting for Allen Press must pass a copyediting test and undergo three orientation sessions to ensure that their work meets Allen Press's demanding requirements. New contractors are permitted to edit only very small jobs (beginning on dead copy), and all their work is read by the Copyediting Coordinators and feedback provided until the Coordinators feel that the contractor is ready to work alone.

Text size: Smaller Larger AARGH, COPY EDITORS! Prompted by this post by Norman Geras, the bloggers at Crooked Timber have been having fun at the expense of the petty tyrants who insist on reworking perfectly good writing for the sake of their silly rules. Read here here , and here . (Apparently the copy editors were highly offended by the original post, judging from this apologetic followup on Normblog.) Copy editors sometimes do improve writing. But, as often as not, the profession selects for people who demonstrate their superiority by knowing rules no one else knows. My favorite copy editing stupidity: At the NYT, you are not allowed to use the verb design to describe anything that is not physical. You have to say devise . Hence this lovely sentence in my most recent column: "In subsequent research, he and Professor Mayzlin are working with a company to compare results from two types of buzz marketing: a campaign concentrated on opinion leaders selected by marketing executives and a campaign devised by the two professors to emphasize dispersion." That is not a graceful sentence. But all the copy editor cared about was getting ride of "designed." Thanks to reader George Jong for the tip.

55. How To Edit And Proofread A Manuscript - Costs And Editing Checklist For Books copy editors generally follow a set of hard and fast rules about punctuation and word usage, and they don t pay a lot of attention to the overall structure of http://www.fonerbooks.com/editor.htm

How to Edit and Proofread a Manuscript direct from the publisher at a 20% discount or through any bookstore. $14.95 Amazon POD Book Publishing Amazon Ranks for Self-Publishing Book Contracts ... Modems and Networks Getting Help Order Book Questions? Comments? Costs and Editing Checklist for Books Most writers do a poor job editing themselves, even if they are excellent editors when working on other authors' books. Some of us are so bad that we can actually pay attention to the grammar warnings the word processor gives! Never try to cut corners on basic editing costs - poor proofreading and layout beats poor editing any day. People refer to edits with a mix of terminology, which I'm going to reduce to three basic categories: copy edits, hard edits, and tech edits. All manuscript editing should be done on double spaced paper, with a red pen, even if the editor will be entering those changes into a manuscript using a track changes option. Book Checklist before Printing Once your manuscript is finalized and your book design is completed, you send the electronic files off to an offset or print-on-demand printer. They'll either give you the option to pay a few bucks extra for a "proof" or "galley" print for final inspection, or send one for free as part of their process. TAKE THE TIME TO READ IT. I don't think I've made every mistake you can possibly make publishing books, but I'll probably get there eventually. I incurred a couple thousand dollars in "skipped inspection" costs in my self-publishing career, so the following book preparation checklist is based on experience.

60. Internet Homeworking Directory - Proofreading And Copy Editors This takes the form of two processes, copyediting and proofreading, both of which are very often carried out by freelance copy-editors and proofreaders from http://www.homeworkinguk.com/proofreader.htm

HOME WHAT'S NEW!! RECOMMENDATIONS Recommended Books ... RESEARCH AND REVIEWS FREELANCE WORK Proofreading Writing Translation ... HELP SUPPORT THIS SITE Welcome to Internet Homeworking Directory. PROOFREADING Each year, in excess of 100,000 books and journals are published in the U.K. Each of these will have started out as an author's manuscript complete with errors, inconsistencies and spelling mistakes which need to be removed. This takes the form of two processes, copy-editing and proofreading, both of which are very often carried out by freelance copy-editors and proofreaders from home. This is more cost effective for the publishers, given that the volume of work can be unevenly spread throughout the year, and will require specialists from differing fields. Like any other freelance work, check out any company if you are taking on a large quantity of work, as freelancers and other contractors are always the last to be paid in times of economic difficulty for a company, or for less scrupulous companies. A particularly high risk sector is vanity publishing (eg former company Minerva Press Ltd) Whilst no formal qualifications or previous experience are necessarily required, a good command of English, a systematic approach and an eye for detail are obviously necessary.
