This is excellent advice! And I will take it now to say hello. I looked you up as I am in an editing class and one of the readings is your essay "Toward Accuracy, Clarity, and Consistency" in Peter Ginna's book "What Editors Do." I feel confident I can thank you for its usefulness, though I am only a couple pages in. What I have read so far let me know to put that book title in quotes because Substack doesn't have the functionality to use italics haha. I must resist distraction and get back to it :)
Thanks, Sara - I love that you're reading that book. It's filled with wisdom. My chapter is somewhat basic and practical compared to the others, so I'm especially pleased that your teacher would recommend it. Good luck with your class!
