Produktbeschreibung

For editors, writers, teachers and students of English grammar, and wordsmiths all ... WORKING WORDS is a collection of 'chats' about aspects of editing and writing for dipping into - it's not a textbook but a companion to books on grammar, style, punctuation, plain English, editing practice, and the business of being a freelance editor. This full revision updates the text to reflect current editing and writing practice. The chats are based on articles written for "The Canberra Editor" over a period of ten years. Many of these happened as a direct result of requests from working editors, would-be editors and people who didn't learn the why's and wherefores of English grammar at school. The book is written in a chatty style, with a few fun pieces along the way - 'itchypencils'.
