Description

Teaching Revising and Editing is devoted to the many facets of the writing, revising, and publication process. It provides a comprehensive overview of the literature over the past 25 years and applies to writing activities in K-12, undergraduate, graduate classrooms, and the workplace.

Over 800 annotated entries for books, articles, reports, bibliographies, and other sources are included.

The nonacademic sections provide sources that cover revising and editing in the general workplace and writing material for newspaper and magazine submissions.
