The Value of Editors

The Value of Editors | Litteris | Scoop.it
Lately, I’ve been concerned with an angle of the digital market that needs discussing: Editors. It concerns me that so few digital-only/digital-first writers are hiring this all-important help before the books go live.

Beware The False Compliments That Are Killing Your Writing | Litteris | Scoop.it

Time and time again on this site we tell you that it’s vital to have a close group of people around you who share your love of writing. 

 

But…you have to be careful.

How to improve editing skills - for copy editors and writers alike

How to improve editing skills - for copy editors and writers alike | Litteris | Scoop.it
Judith van Praag's curator insight, March 1, 10:36 AM

Yes! This is by far the best post I've come across with the three pigs (imagine a French accent here) as a topic. To offer "stir" as meaning of pique is helpful, for the closest to the irritation which the onomatopoea (more in French than English) brings forth. "Ça pique!" may be uttered after misplacing key's, suffering a bite of an ant, or better yet, someone else by a fly (as in the saying "Quelle mouche t'a picqué?") in that latte case the expression means what's bugging you?
As for a copy editor imaginative and inquisitive while correcting, a wholehearted Yes! to that as well.

Jim George's curator insight, December 11, 2012 9:53 AM

Invigilating FCE & CAE recently, I saw precious little evidence of planning/brainstorming prior to leaping into writing tasks (and subsequently messy arrows & crossings out) but also candidates writing up to the buzzer and not giving themselves any time to check their own work. Absolutely NOT a waste of time - those extra 10 words won't make a difference; the re-read will rescue points.

The Difference between Proofreading and Copy Editing, and between Copy editing and Content Editing

The Difference between Proofreading and Copy Editing, and between Copy editing and Content Editing | Litteris | Scoop.it

I am frequently asked what the difference is between proofreading and copy editing. Then there is content editing. What is the difference between copy editing and content editing? Contrary to what most authors think, there are distinct differences among the three.
