Writing and Editing Blog: January 2006
http://emendediting.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Writing and Editing Blog. 29 January, 2006. Are you obsessive enough to be an editor? Some editors, I have heard, worry about being right-angle people (my graphic-designer friend’s polite phrase for ‘anal retentive’). Of course editors are worriers by nature can a good editor ever relax before a deadline and without a drink? But I think the real question is not ‘Am I too obsessive about things? But ‘Am I obsessive enough? 2 Do you clean your desk weekly or more often than weekly? 11 Have you been saving ...

Writing and Editing Blog. 20 November, 2005. The chicken or the egg. How do you gain experience as an editor? Clients want to hire experienced editors but how does someone new to editing find those crucial first jobs? It’s not easy to start out in business any business. Even if the work is there, finding it is not a simple matter, particularly in the beginning. Another possibility is to start with a voluntary job before applying for paid work. The world is full of text that needs editing and many wil...

Writing and Editing Blog: December 2005
http://emendediting.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Writing and Editing Blog. 24 December, 2005. I agree with much of the previous discussion in this blog, but it seems to me that a whole dimension is missing. Although other bloggers recognise that different rates are paid in different sectors, their comments seem to be based on the false assumption that ‘editing’ is a uniform process that can be delivered in precisely measured units. Fitting the brief to the budget. Whether the editor’s hourly rate is implicit or explicit, it combines with three other fa...

Writing and Editing Blog: February 2007
http://emendediting.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Writing and Editing Blog. 27 February, 2007. Why writers need editors. There are opinions. There are egos. Despite the close links in their roles and their mutual interest in language, communication and style, there’s room for better understanding between writers and editors. It’s even more desirable now, because writers need editing more than ever. Why should this be so? The literary editor concentrates on narrative technique this could include matters such as voice, characterisation, point of view, int...
