Description: "Since its first publication in 1975, Judith Butcher's Copy-Editing has become firmly established as a classic reference guide. This new edition has been completely revised and redesigned to provide an up-to-date and clearly presented source of information for all those involved in preparing typescripts and illustrations for publication." "Successful copy-editing ensures that material for publication is well organized, consistent and properly presented and helps remove any features that might cause unnecessary difficulty, expense or delay in production." "From the basics of how to mark a typescript for the designer and the typesetter, through the ground rules of house style and consistency, to how to read and correct proofs, Copy-Editing covers all aspects of the editorial processes involved in converting text or disk to printed page. With its use of clear explanations, examples and checklists Copy-Editing is an essential tool for new and experienced editors alike."--Jacket.
