Product Description
You work with words - or you want to work with words - so you are looking for as much advice as possible about handling words, making them say what you want them to say, presenting them well and getting people to read the articles in which they appear. Dip into these pieces to find out how to do these things and hopefully you'll be entertained, too.
Humphrey Evans has collected these pieces together mainly from contributions he provided for the Chief Sub column in The Journalist, the magazine of the UK National Union of Journalists. They draw on his experiences working as a freelance subeditor, moving from office to office to help bring out newspapers, magazines and websites. He has also taught subediting skills to people wanting to improve their word handling, their headline writing and their proofreading.
