Making Editing Fun:
Carolyn Howard-Johnson's book, The Frugal Editor, reminds me of the old saying, "It takes a village to raise a child." It also takes a village to make us writers look good. A book is not written. It is rewritten, sometimes even with the help of proofreaders and editors like Carolyn.

Carolyn is very generous with her... more info
A Must for Writers:

Not only are the usual problems with editing covered: from the proper use of pronouns, how and when to... more info
The Frugal Editor- Outstanding Reference Book:

Oh, how I wish I'd read this book before I published mine! This book will sit forever on my bookshelf alongside my Roget's Thesaurus and my Chicago Manual... more info
