New to editing?

["Hart, Geoff" <Geoff-H -at- MTL -dot- FERIC -dot- CA>]

Kathi DeGuzman has <<... been a technical writer for over 10 years. Of
course I have edited my own work during that time. However, I am now
considered the Tech. Editor of my dept. Can anyone recommend a good book to
get a few theories, etc. under my belt.>>

After all those years of reviews, now comes payback time! <g>

What resources you will get the most benefit from depends on what you
perceive as your specific training needs. One thing that I do highly
recommend is that you join copyediting-l
(http://listserv.indiana.edu/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=copyediting-l&A=1%20),
which is a resource comparable to techwr-l but for editors. It's a great
place to get answers to specific editing-related questions that might not be
appropriate for techwr-l. It's at least as busy as techwr-l, but you can
filter certain topics (e.g., chat) and that helps.
