Description:
The ultimate editing handbook, updated for the digital age
The Australian Editing Handbook has become an industry
standard, recommended by the Society of Editors, and holds a
prominent place on the shelves of writers, editors and students
alike. Authors Elizabeth Flann, Beryl Hill and Lan Wang have
assembled a comprehensive guide to every aspect of the editing
process, from working with authors and receiving manuscripts, to
editorial, production, printing and beyond.
The modern editor must go beyond editing and proofreading, and
is often tasked with obtaining permissions, sourcing supplementary
material and keeping the author on schedule and on budget. That
means the editor is also the ultimate mediator of style and
propriety for the piece, acting as gatekeeper between the author
and the public. It's a substantial role, requiring the fundamental
knowledge of several different fields to achieve effective results.
A guide to managing each aspect of the job, The Australian
Editing Handbook is an invaluable resource. The Third Edition
includes updated information about the new challenges that editors
face in the digital age, including:
Editing on-screen
Digital publishing
Handling ebooks
Print media versus online publications
The book includes two-color printing to make editing marks
easier to understand, and a wealth of charts and diagrams that
simplify complex topics and serve as handy quick-checks that make
this guide the ultimate desk reference. For professionals and
students in the field of editing, writing, publishing or
journalism, The Australian
