Editorial Niches: A Companion to Editing Canadian English, 3rd Edition
about
Editorial Niches began as part of Editing Canadian English, 3rd edition – the style manual of Editors Canada – and indeed is part of the online edition (editingcanadianenglish.ca).
To keep the print edition a manageable size and price, we decided to publish the sections on editorial roles and requirements (chapter 12) and editorial niches (chapter 13) as a companion volume, using the same chapter numbering to preserve the link with the online edition.
Chapter 12 explores key roles and requirements for editors today:
- Professional Editorial Standards (2009): the fundamentals of editing and standards for structural editing, stylistic editing, copy editing, and proofreading
- professional development
- fact checking
- indexing
- email etiquette
- software for editing
Chapter 13 delves into a wide range of editorial niches:
- online materials
- books
- corporations, not-for-profits, associations, and government
- educational material
- academic materials
- poetry, plays, and screenplays
- cookbooks
- magazines
- science, technology, and medicine
- visual materials
Whether you are a would-be, new, or established editor, Editorial Niches offers a treasure trove of information from a team of seasoned editors who are experts in their various fields.
