Everyday Editing by Jeff Anderson
Jeff Anderson’s Everyday Editing is really aimed at teachers who want to create more effective writing workshops and educate students on how to self-edit, but this teaching perspective has a lot of value for the everyday writer.
Imagine how this book could change your perspective as a freelance writer editor or a newcomer to the world of editing. Got your eye on that editor slot? Are you still taking on reduced pay editing gigs or doing work for free? Scoop up a copy of this book and give yourself a leg up.
By learning editing and writing concepts from a teacher’s point of view, you’ll have an easier time getting your head around what future clients and employers expect from your work. Anderson’s book includes a lot of great ideas, especially on mechanics like proper verb choices, paragraphs, even how to use dialogue appropriately.
It goes without saying that any student of writing has the potential to become a teacher of the craft at some point in time. Want to mentor new writers? Everyday Editing by Jeff Anderson is a good tool to have on hand to prep for that mentoring.
