Academic publishing tip 66: How to structure the Table of Contents? It’s a road map for your reader. Avoid long titles as readers loose the overview. Create chapters with equal scope, short titles, and a simple logical structure to help your reader navigate your argument

A great pitch for crafting a great pitch. Spending time and effort on your book proposal is a really clarifying step in the early stages of writing. I love drafting and redrafting the log line, the one-sentence summary of the book, with my authors till we get to the precisely laid out, carefully balanced and enticing string of words that hold worlds within them.

One of the biggest typos I've seen in my experience is "loose" and "lose." Loose is an adjective referring to something not tight. Lose is a verb. ;-) Make sure you keep wary of this, but don't stress too hard. Example: You must lose the loose language. https://a.co/d/04zMJLfH #proofreaidngtips #proofreadingservices #grammarmatters #bookstoread

Think you might need more editorial support than a copyeditor or proofreader alone can offer? Not sure what your options are? In this new resource, I run through your three main options when hiring an editorial project manager: 🌍 freelance 🏠 in-house 🤝 vendor Each type has advantages and disadvantages. So it's important to pick the option that will best suit your organisation in terms of quality, cost, scalability and oversight. Since 2008 I've spent thousands of hours working as an editorial project manager. In that time I've been employed in-house and worked as a freelancer. And I've also reported to all three types of editorial project manager as a copyeditor or proofreader. So I've seen a lot of what works and what doesn't! Check out the post to get tips for your search or just expand your knowledge of the options available to you. — Wordstitch | Editorial services that empower non-profits, charities, businesses and authors to confidently share their expertise and impact DM me or follow the link in my profile to book a 30-minute discovery call – let’s discuss how I can help to move your project forward https://lnkd.in/eFV7887H

The four key principles of copyediting. The very first for me is to always double check. A good copyeditor is an eternal student, always ready to doubt themselves and learn.
