review: Editorial Reviews From the Back Cover Praise for The Copyeditor's Handbook "Absolutely required for students in publishing programs, the volume will also be valuable for those working with copyeditors and those interested in becoming freelance editors.... Essential."— CHOICE "[A]n indispensable classic."— Technical Communications “Marilyn Schwartz has incisively and thoroughly updated and expanded The Copyeditor’s Handbook , adding best-practice advice on editorial ethics, accessibility, digital sources, plain language, ESL, and more. Amy Einsohn would be so pleased! Pair this rigorous yet amiable handbook with The Copyeditor’s Workbook for a complete course in manuscript editing.”—Carol Saller, author of The Subversive Copy Editor “Marilyn Schwartz has crafted a worthy revision of this revered classic. Much here is new, taking us fully into the twenty-first century. Further thoughts and explication from both Amy Einsohn’s posthumous notes and Schwartz’s own experience are so skillfully woven in that Einsohn’s voice continues to sing through.”—Pm Weizenbaum, 2018 president of the Northwest Editors Guild “ The Copyeditor’s Handbook remains the best guide for copyeditors. Marilyn Schwartz has done a thorough job of addressing the ‘tectonic shifts’ in editing, using Amy Einsohn’s copious notes and her own deep experience. It’s as though she read the minds of editing instructors everywhere when we’ve said, ‘I wish Einsohn covered . . .’”—Erin Brenner, owner of Right Touch Editing and former owner of Copyediting.com “The fourth edition does the well-loved Amy Einsohn proud, especially with the new material covering digital editing, helpful software, and indie authors. Editors everywhere will greatly appreciate the editing code of ethics added at the end of chapter 1. Reading this book is the next best thing to having a good mentor.”—Katharine O’Moore-Klopf, ELS, owner of KOK Edit Praise for The Copyeditor's Workbook “Editors, you’re not done when you’ve read the fourth edition of The Copyeditor’s Handbook . Do every single exercise in the comprehensive Workbook . You have to love a workbook that has an exercise with an editor’s version of the classic lightbulb joke.”—Katharine O’Moore-Klopf, ELS, owner of KOK Edit “ The Copyeditor’s Workbook is a dream come true for teachers and students, a major expansion on (but including) Amy Einsohn’s original exercises. Thorough and (yes) often entertaining, the Workbook offers more than forty strategic drills—most of them new—in print and digital form. Perfect for training meticulous yet insightful copyeditors.”—Carol Saller, author of The Subversive Copy Editor “The Workbook triples the number of exercises from the origin Handbook and offers far more scope for classroom settings, solo learning, and informal study groups.”—Pm Weizenbaum, 2018 president of the Northwest Editors Guild “I’m really excited about The Copyeditor’s Workbook . It fills a gap in editor education and will help students develop that most elusive of skills—editorial judgment. With reminders that often there is no one right answer and exposure to different editing techniques and editor resources, the Workbook is an excellent addition to any copyediting course using The Copyeditor’s Handbook .”—Erin Brenner, owner of Right Touch Editing and former owner of Copyediting.com About the Author Amy Einsohn was a professional editor who worked in scholarly, trade nonfiction, and corporate publishing.
