From time to time it’s necessary for copy editors to have discussions about style. Maybe an issue keeps popping up that isn’t quite covered by your style manual or house style, and you need to decide how to handle it.

The passing of publishing giant Tom McCormack makes me recall the interaction he had with my father, Leonard Shatzkin, from the very beginning of Tom’s publishing career. The bios say he was hired as an editor at Anchor Books, Doubleday’s pioneering trade paperback imprint, in 1959, that being McCormack’s first job in publishing. The Anchor line had been “invented” by Jason Epstein in about 1953.

Research shows that in the modern workplace, people devote a mindblowing 88% of their workweek communicating with business partners across multiple channels.

One amazing Christian book editing project occurred when author Tylor Carr hired me to edit his faith-based manuscript. I’m so glad to see the reviews on Amazon , which truthfully describe the book as “baring it all, “open,” and “raw.” It’s a book of lost and found, stumbling blocks and redemption, and mental health challenges from the perspective of a promising young Black male who absolutely loves the Lord.
