When I created the For DummiesTM series of self-help books, I wanted to target intelligent people who'd been made to feel dumb about some everyday matter - computers, wine, golf, finance, whatever - and show them that, with help and direction, they could become smart about anything. Editor's Secrets pursues a similar goal for people who need to write. Read it, and you'll feel like a writing dummy no more. Laura and Bill reveal their secret formula for better writing and editing in a simple, direct, and instructive manner. The presentation, the tips and hints, and the overall tone are nurturing and reassuring. Count on this book to deliver writing results fast! --John Kilcullen, founder of the For DummiesTM brand of books
