5.0 out of 5 stars Reading made easy, April 18, 2002

This review is from: Editing Made Easy (Paperback)

Finally, a book about editing and writing concisely that is actually written...concisely. Too many books about "secrets of the professionals" suffer from exactly the sort of problems they profess to solve: dense, difficult copy that is almost impossible to penetrate. But this book lays it out simply and in a matter-of-fact style. As a long-time journalist and editor, it now occupies an important place on my bookshelf - right next to me. Anyone else interested in the craft of words will reserve the same place for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic editing resource!, April 11, 2011
