COMMUNITY REVIEWS
STET submitted by valerieclaires on July 27, 2016, 4:19pm This is a great resource for copy editors, those who edit as part of their larger work, and even for those who don't edit, but coordinate large projects. While not a stylebook, this book has lots of great advice for editors, especially for those dealing with writers and freelancers, and patching up the bumps that are sure to come up in the long road of editing a manuscript. Saller also injects humor and personal experiences among the tips, for a well-rounded and interesting read.
