A long-time manuscript editor and Chicago Manual of Style guru, Carol has negotiated many a standoff between a writer and editor refusing to compromise on the ‘rights’ and ‘wrongs’ of prose styling. She realised that when the sides squared off, it was often the reader who lost.
In her search for practical strategies for keeping the peace, The Subversive Copy Editor was born. Carol’s ideas struck a chord, and the little book with big advice quickly became a must-have reference for copy editors everywhere.
More information about Carol and the book is on her blog, The Subversive Copy Editor.
