Combining a break-down of an editor's tasks - including creating a vision, acquisitions, responding to submissions and corresponding with authors - with a behind-the-scenes look at manuscripts in progress, the book rounds up with a test editing section that teaches, by way of engaging exercises, the nitty-gritty strategies and techniques for working on all kinds of texts.
