Editing Fact and Fiction is a concise, practical guide for people interested in book publishing or already working as editors who want to learn more about the opportunities in various kinds of book editing. Written in a lively, informal style, two editors with extensive experience in a wide variety of fields - fiction and nonfiction, trade and reference, academic and commercial publishing - explain what editors in different jobs really do. This is a book to be read, not just referred to. It will be an indispensable guide for anyone thinking about making a career in book publishing, a valuable resource for editors working in publishing who want to enlarge their knowledge, and a useful tool for senior editors in training their staff.
