This isn’t a book about copy-editing style or mechanics. Surely, there are enough of those on the market. It’s about surviving in this line of work, being resilient, managing relationships, and focusing on the things that really matter. Part manual, part memoir, The Copy Editor’s (Life)Style Guide explores how to navigate the parts of this career that aren’t about grammar, spelling, and punctuation. It provides you with tools to: --Manage tight deadlines, communicate edits, and hand off assignments --Give yourself grace in a world where perfection is impossible --Maintain your joy (and sanity) while striking a work-life balance --Navigate the job hunt and set yourself up for success ...and more. With The Copy Editor’s (Life)Style Guide, you’ll look beyond editing a document and into how to make changes to your life, all while discovering (or rediscovering) the joy in the profession.
