Some academic publishing contract advice: make sure your contract specifies 1. a qualified human copyeditor will copyedit on the MS; 2. a qualified human proofreader will proofread the MS; 3. that production must have a proper system for version control (!). - Reposted by SculpturalMobilitiesEvery year I get to edit my deliberately BAD essay sample for a new batch of students. Any other pet peeves or typical bad writing ticks I might have missed? #writing #shakespeare [and apologies to any cited scholars caught in the cross hairs here]
- Sometime ago somebody posted a bad essay on here that they use for teaching writing skills. It was great, but I can't find it in my saved posts. Helpful person - are you out there? Can you repost? I'd be forever in your debt!
