They are also editing a wider range of media, including books (eg poetry, fiction, technical texts), magazines, websites and electronic newsletters. The essential role of an editor remains though, as important as ever and an integral part of the publishing process. An editor needs to be a competent and confident liaison person and a good organiser, as well as being an arbiter of sense, structure, style and taste, a tactful yet firm advisor, and a watchdog on schedules and costs. Throughout the pages of this practical and authoritative text, the authors will show you how. Want to Learn More: Consider studying Editing I with ACS Distance Education.
