Day of the Tempest by Jean Rabe
As the knowledge economy takes shape, editors face many challenges. Technology is transforming publishing, text is losing out to graphics, and writing is distorted by cliche, hype and spin. More than ever, editors are needed to add value to information and to rescue readers from boredom and confusion. The Editor's Companion explains the traditional skills of editing for publication and how to adapt them for digital production. It describes the editorial tasks for print and screen publications, from fantasy novels and academic texts to web pages and government documents. It is an essential tool for professional editors, as well as media and publications officers, self-publishers and writers editing their own work. This revised edition features extended coverage of on-screen editing, single-source publishing and digital rights, a comprehensive glossary of editing terms and a companion website developed especially for students that includes editing exercises, expert 'tips' and essential weblinks.
Editor Stephen D. Sullivan has been a professional writer, illustrator, and swashbuckler since 1980. He is the author of more than thirty published novels and numerous comic books. His recent projects include Martian Knights, Spider Riders, and Iron Man. He has won the Origins Award-adventure gaming's highest honor-twice, first for his samurai fantasy novel The Lion, and later for his Mage Knight short story Podo and the Magic Shield. His novel, Dragonlance: Warrior's Heart, was nominated for a 2006 Scribe Award. The second book in that trilogy, Dragonlance: Warrior's Blood was cited by the Detroit Free Press as a novel Harry Potter fans would enjoy. Steve's upcoming books include Frost Harrow(TM) Dream Lover, A Season of Fear, and the final book in the Catriona trilogy, Dragonlance: Warrior's Bones. Steve lives in haunted Frosthaven, Wisconsin, with his wife and two children. More information about Steve and his work can be found at www.stephendsullivan.com. Editor Jean Rabe is the author of two dozen novels and more than forty short stories. When not writing on an outdated computer-which isn't often-she tugs ferociously on old socks with her two dogs, visits museums, listens to country music, and pretends to garden. She has a growing stack of to-be-read books that she occasionally manages to put a dent in. Jean loves movies that blow up real good, indulges in fantasy football leagues, plays all sorts of boardgames, injures innocent bushes when she weed-whacks, and loathes shoes.
