As editors, we work with writers to fix problems. While it is satisfying to identify problems and help writers improve their work, one of the hazards of editing is focusing only on what is wrong and forgetting to acknowledge what is right.
Summer reading, editorial style
Ah, summer. The longer days, relaxed (or fewer) deadlines, and well-earned vacation time make this the perfect season to catch up on our reading.
One of our go-to blogs for keeping up with the editorial scene is The Editors’ Weekly. Launched in 2012, the official blog of Editors Canada features a new post every Tuesday, usually by a Canadian editor but sometimes by a guest author or other new voice. Partner Lana Okerlund has contributed. So has partner Frances Peck, whose latest post profiles Margery Fee, co-author of the Oxford Guide to Canadian English Usage.
