<p class="MsoNormal">The important aspect of Carolyn’s textbook is it’s comprehensive coverage of a professional editor’s roles and skills. A lot of those skills are very particular. Editing demands close understanding of syntax, style, and punctuation. Some
editorial tasks require complex markup and command of style sheets, templates, and levels of edit. You won’t get that kind of systematic detail in a collection of readings.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For what it's worth, my Writing at Work: Professional Writing Skills for People on the Job is miraculously still in print and generating sales, with some loyal adopters. We give close coverage to analyzing the writing situation, understanding
syntax, style, and punctuation, and it is packaged with a set of exercises. This book does not cover the roles and specific skills of the professional editor, but it does work very well with students who need foundational understanding of how sentences work.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">hi all, <br>
<br>
i’m currently teaching USU’s graduate-level “Advanced Editing” course, and i’ve overhauled it to have a social justice focus. for example, we are talking about ways that an editor acts as a reader advocate or a user experience designer for texts of all sorts and
across multiple modalities; instead of style guides, we are investigating <a href="https://ideasonfire.net/journal-style-guide/" target="_blank">social justice focused style guides</a>; and we are interrogating editing practices (like adherence to “correctness”
or “rules") that have been shown not to help struggling writers improve their writing or have been shown to have fallen out of use or favor among various audiences. <br>
<br>
back in the before times when i was deciding on course textbooks, i chose Rude & Eaton’s <i>Technical Editing</i>, (5th Edition), for its emphasis on readers’ needs over correctness or grammar rules. the textbook publisher, Pearson, allowed me to place the book
order from their <a href="https://www.pearson.com/us/higher-education/program/Rude-Technical-Editing-5th-Edition/PGM100003100757.html?tab=overview" target="_blank">website</a> (that in no way indicated then nor does it indicate now that the text has been discontinued),
my bookstore didn’t have any problem adopting it, and my students haven’t had trouble purchasing the text. however, i requested an desk copy through the publisher’s website twice, and i received no response. when i contacted my Pearson publishing representative,
they told me that since the book is out of date (2014), they would not send me a pdf or electronic version of the publication, nor would they request a desk copy or exam copy for me. their suggestion was to look for a more up-to-date textbook and sent me a
link to Pearson’s entire catalog. <br>
<br>
leaving the problematics of customer service and maybe the error of my reliance on older publishing models whereby instructors didn’t have to purchase their own textbooks aside, the situation that i find myself in has me thinking that i may have missed some
great resources on editing over the last few years. here’s a list of a few that i have become aware of and am using in class to supplement the Rude & Eaton text, but if you know of others, will you please DM me with those resources? i will happily compile
a list in my course bibliography and share it with everyone who is interested. <o:p></o:p></p>

i’m also considering whether turning these course materials into a textbook would be helpful to others of you, and whether anyone else is working on Editing for Social Justice projects that i can endorse or support or collaborate on?<br>
