Why Two?

November 6, 2023 Post a comment

We encourage everyone in the publishing industry to belong to two professional organizations. The first is a large, general, career-building association such as NAIWE, and the second is a smaller craft- or genre-focused association that will help develop additional skills in the minutiae of your craft.

Each type of association offers different benefits, and the individual can benefit from both!

A large association can offer a wider perspective of a discussion topic with more people able to chime in from a variety of physical locations. The association can also offer training on topics with speakers you wouldn’t otherwise be able to learn from. Larger associations sometimes offer conferences as well, so take advantage of your ability to meet those speakers and network with your colleagues!

A smaller craft- or genre-focused association will have training that goes into a lot more detail on a given topic. Writers who write primarily in one genre, for example, may benefit from joining a genre-focused association in conjunction with a larger association such as NAIWE.

Copyeditors, Your Last Line of Defense

March 20, 2023 Post a comment

The copyedit is the last stage in the process of bringing a manuscript to publication, and it is the last time the manuscript will be reviewed before being typeset and laid out in book format. All substantive changes should already have been made by this point. Copyeditors may tighten up the text to eliminate wordiness and increase readability, move text around to improve logic, and smooth awkward transitions, but substantive changes should be few.

Copyeditors look for errors in

  • sentence organization
  • structure
  • consistency
  • tone
  • writing style
  • transitions
  • grammar and usage
  • spelling and punctuation
  • house style.

Copyeditors perform a similar function to proofreaders; the difference between these two professionals is their place in the publishing process and the type of errors corrected. Copyeditors perform their job when the manuscript is still in Microsoft Word files, before the manuscript has been laid out by the designer. Sometimes a proofreader may work on a manuscript before layout, but proofreaders usually work in PDF files or on hard copy (paper) after the typesetter or desktop publisher has laid out the manuscript to look like the final product. Copyeditors correct all types of grammatical and punctuation errors, whereas proofreaders correct only egregious errors and mistakes in layout. Therefore, copyeditors are the last line of defense against bad writing.

Based on recent dialog in the NAIWE discussion group, publishing professionals use references (and many prefer to have them in hard copy, rather than digital).

Education: Business to Freelancer

July 2, 2021 Post a comment

As a recent graduate with a bachelor’s degree in English, I knew I wanted to work with words. I thought about becoming a teacher or working for a newspaper, but neither of those ideas panned out.

A few months later, I learned about a local university that was offering certificates in book publishing, editing, and e-books. I applied and was accepted into the program, and over the next few years, I completed the certificates in book publishing and editing and was one class away from completing the certificate in e-books and the university sold the program to another university.

By this time, I had a job as an assistant to a group of prosecutors who offered trainings across the country. I was the editor for the training materials and the organizer of the conferences. I also had begun my freelance business, offering editing and proofreading services—my first client being a guest speaker from one of my university classes.

Across the street from my office was a company that offered a certificate in professional editing. I applied, was accepted, and took the appropriate classes to complete this certificate. But while completing this certificate, I took several courses in indexing. The courses piqued my interest, so I took two additional indexing courses and began offering indexing to my freelance clients.

By the time I had completed my third certificate, the university that had purchased the certificate program was now offering a degree in publishing; I applied to this degree program.

I left that job as an assistant and took a job located across the street from the university as an assistant editor for a magazine and association publications. A few months later, I began the degree program.

Upon completion of my master’s degree in publishing, my freelance business had grown and was taking much of my time, so I decided to quit my in-house job as a magazine editor and freelance full time—and I have never looked back.

In the years since, I have attended numerous conferences, joined numerous associations, and spoken at numerous events.  I found that education is key to the business, but continuous education is key not only to the business but also to the freelancer.

While I will never know everything about this amazing industry, I find myself enjoying different aspects of it even more than I did when I began my first certificate course at the young age of 21.

Having seen the importance of education, I have put a great emphasis on it within NAIWE. We offer a new webinar each month led by an expert within the publishing industry. And though the topic may not be directly related to the services you currently offer, the knowledge you gain may prove beneficial for your clients as you meet their needs.

Intertwining Processes

June 4, 2021 Post a comment

Many writers and people not directly in the publishing process do not know where copyediting fits in the process. Furthermore, many people don’t know the difference between copyediting and proofreading. The simplest answer is that copyediting is the last set of eyes before the manuscript is turned into a book, and proofreading is the last set of eyes before the book is published.

Whether you are a writer, editor, designer, proofreader, or another professional, where does your process for your specific service that you offer fit in this larger publishing process?
