Copy Editing How to Learn From Copy Editors By Hannah Rice Myers eHow Contributor updated: September 15, 2009 I want to do this! What's This? In the world of freelance writing, there are often tensions between the writers and copy editors. Whether it be due to over sized egos, legitimate misunderstandings or a breakdown in communication, those tensions can result in writers not learning what they need to from their more experienced teammates. There are a variety of ways you can improve your ability to learn from any copy editor you work with. Whether they point out basic grammar and spelling errors, or offer more complex advice to improve content, good copy editors have a wealth of knowledge that can benefit any writer-you simply need to be willing to accept it. Difficulty: Moderately Easy Instructions Things You'll Need: Notebook Stylebook (such as the Associated Press Stylebook) Writer's reference book (such as "Media Writer's Handbook" or "When Words Collide") How to Learn From Copy Editors Keep an open mind. It is easy to become defensive when a copy editor suggests you make changes to your article, or points out areas where your writing needs improvement; after all, your article is your baby. However, when you keep an open mind, you are able to see more clearly that your copy editor's goal is to help improve your article for your audience, resulting not only in a more structurally sound piece, but an improvement in your skills as a writer as well.

Why Copy Editors Are Necessary: A Small Treatise on the Publishing World I'd like to take a moment to explain just what copy editors in the fiction field do, with the perspective of almost 20 years in the field, having been a developmental editor, acquiring editor, copy editor, and managing (production) editor over time. (An even better question is, who is left to develop the manuscript to its full potential in the first place? Nowadays? ... often a freelance developmental editor. (NB: Copy editors in other fields, such as newspapers and magazines, traditionally work more directly with the copy that has been fully developed and checked by the editor/writer. Part of this accounts for, I believe, the dim view some people have taken of copy editors: they believe all that they do is check for grammar and impose spelling and rules upon prose ... a pleasant but somewhat anal-retentive task. Book copy editors do a far wider job in 99% of the cases, due to the reasons noted above.) (Q: Does anal retentive have a hyphen? A: If you know the answer, then you may be a good copy editor.

There is no formal training needed to be a copy editor but, usually, people with these jobs have a love of language and an incredibly firm grasp of usage. And just about every copy editing job requires applicants to pass copy editing tests, which entail going over a sample story and correcting mistakes. These tests, like writing tests (which many journalists and editors must take), are standard across the industry. Where Do Copy Editors Work? Copy editors work at newspapers, book publishers and magazines. Of course there are also a multitude of jobs outside of the media world for copy editors. Essentially any company producing content websites, corporations, clothing manufacturers with catalogs might need a copy editor to vet stories and ensure they are grammatically correct. This means that copy editors can work in a wide array of fields. Also, many copy editing positions, like some fact checking The Rules of Copy While there are basic rules of grammar that remain fixed, a copy editor, along with journalists and writers, needs to know AP Style.

58. Language Log: Jail Copy Editors For The Right Reasons Jail copy editors for the right reasons. The news that copyediting a paper before it appears in a journal may be a criminal offense if they come from one of the Bad Guy countries http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/000542.html

Language Log Main March 04, 2004 Jail copy editors for the right reasons The news that copy-editing a paper before it appears in a journal may be a criminal offense if they come from one of the Bad Guy countries ( further details here ) is perhaps the most astonishing I have encountered in months (despite a ready flow of often astounding news, both on Language Log and elsewhere). I'm all in favor of sending copy editors to jail; but I think it should be for their actual practices: changing which to that in a bid to impose the (completely mythical) generalization that which is not used in what The Cambridge Grammar calls integrated relatives (the kind without the commas); altering the position of adjuncts in phrases like willing to at least consider it because of a belief in the (again, completely mythical) view that there something called an "infinitive" in English and it should not be "split"; and so on. I've spent too much time struggling (after editorial acceptance) for the right to use grammatical sentences in my own native language, battling against the enforcement of arbitrary cryptogrammatical dogmata. Send these which -hunters and adjunct-shifters to jail for a few months, by all means. Put them in solitary on a bread and water diet. Take away their red pencils. But not because the work they are fiddling with is by an author who happens to have the misfortune to live in Iran.
