Reviews
With the book, (Saller) hopes to give copy editors 'self-assurance and a measure of grace' in negotiating words with the writers we are 'charged with saving from themselves.' It's an invaluable work for aspiring copy editors, and a useful one for those more established. Writers--who all edit their own work, to a degree--will also find it illuminating. The Subversive Copy Editor  is a wise, witty, and thoroughly helpful companion to the work of editing., One of the great virtues of this book (which has been very well copy-edited) is the many helpful examples of exchanges and situations Saller uses to illustrate her points. Many are real--and some, incidentally, very funny., If you admired--even loved--the first  Subversive Copy Editor , you will perforce admire and love the second edition., May be the best copy editor's companion since the CMS , the AP Style Guide  and that dog-eared xerox of copy editing marks you keep tacked up on the cubicle wall. . . . This is an ideal complement to any style guide: practical, relentlessly supportive and full of ed-head laughs., If you admired--even loved--the first Subversive Copy Editor , you will perforce admire and love the second edition., With the book, (Saller) hopes to give copy editors 'self-assurance and a measure of grace' in negotiating words with the writers we are 'charged with saving from themselves.'

The triumvirate of carefulness, transparence, and flexibility is good advice for writers and editors of any level., This is the book Oprah would write if her vocation were saving writers from embarrassment, rather than saving the whole world.

Synopsis
Longtime manuscript editor and Chicago Manual of Style guru Carol Fisher Saller has negotiated many a standoff between a writer and editor refusing to compromise on the "rights" and "wrongs" of prose styling. Saller realized that when these sides squared off, it was often the reader who lost. In her search for practical strategies for keeping the peace, The Subversive Copy Editor was born. Saller's ideas struck a chord, and the little book with big advice quickly became a must-have reference for copy editors everywhere. In this second edition, Saller adds new chapters, on the dangers of allegiance to outdated grammar and style rules and on ways to stay current in language and technology. She expands her advice for writers on formatting manuscripts for publication, on self-editing, and on how not to be "difficult." Saller's own gaffes provide firsthand (and sometimes humorous) examples of exactly what not to do. The revised content reflects today's publishing practices while retaining the self-deprecating tone and sharp humor that helped make the first edition so popular. Saller maintains that through carefulness, transparency, and flexibility, editors can build trust and cooperation with writers. The Subversive Copy Editor brings a refreshingly levelheaded approach to the classic battle between writers and editors. This sage advice will prove useful and entertaining to anyone charged with the sometimes perilous task of improving the writing of others., In the spring of 2009, the University of Chicago Press published The Subversive Copyeditor, a slim volume packed with wryly witty commonsense advice for editors and authors on how to successfully manage relationships with publishing colleagues and the many stresses of the job, written by our longtime colleague from Manuscript Editing Carol Fisher Saller. The book garnered much attention and acclaim and helped further Saller's reputation as a leading voice in the profession. This thoroughly revised edition offers many refinements throughout and also adds two new chapters, one on the dangers of slavish allegiance to grammar and style rules and the other on how to stay current in the language and technology matters that are central to the work of evaluating or improving the writing of others. The author has also replaced the Further Reading list with a bibliographic essay, mainly of online resources. The revised content reflects today's publishing landscape and practices while retaining the self-deprecating tone and sharp humor that helped make the first edition so popular.
