It focuses on serving the reader, even if it means breaking 'rules' along the way. It includes helpful sections on e-mail etiquette, work-flow management, and organizing computer files.
"I've never read anything like The Subversive Copy EditorIts pages illuminate the humanity and the love of language and form that transmute a manuscript into a book." - Richard Lederer, author of Anguished English and The Write Way "It's no surprise that the droll and (seemingly) all-knowing wizard behind the Chicago Style Q&A puts it all together - entertainingly - for manuscript editors in this real-world guide to job success and survival. The surprise is how urgent it is for every author, client, and boss who works with editors to embrace Saller's 'subversiveness' - or suffer the next outcome from hell." - Arthur Plotnik, author of The Elements of Editing and Spunk & Bite: A Writer's Guide to Bold, Contemporary Style"
