Self-Editing for Fiction Writers: How to Edit Yourself into Print By Renni Browne, Dave King, George Booth (Illustrator) ISBN: 9780062720467 Published: 1994 Number of Pages: 240 Edition: Reprint Binding: Paperback | |
Pricing & Availability:Additional Details: Product Type: Book Publisher: Harpercollins Description: There's not much of the old-style editing going on at publishing houses today. Renni Browne, veteran of William Morrow and other publishers, founded the Editorial Department in 1980 to teach fiction writers the techniques professional editors (many of whom have gone independent) use to prepare a manuscript for publication. In this book, she and senior editor Dave King share their accumulated expertise in a series of brilliantly compact lessons. One page from their simply and markedly improved version of a scene from The Great Gatsby alone would make a compelling advertisement for their techniques. Very highly recommended. --MTB |
