There was no useful information about setting up a business or finding clients. Plus, the spelling and grammar were inconsistent throughout -- ironic for a book on becoming a freelance writer, proofreader, copyeditor, etc. I returned this book and look forward to getting my money back!             Instant Spelling Dictionary; 25,000 words spelled, divided, accented, including complete rules for spelling, ...1 review Margaret M Dougherty Career Institute, 1967 Indispensible I have had my third edition since 1969. It is indispensible.

Cambridge University Press, 2006 Lots of good advice but... ...a bit too British. Some of the information seems specifically applicable to Cambridge University Press, and will need to be supplemented by guides to U.S. practice.             The Associated Press Stylebook and Libel Manual: Including Guidelines on Photo Captions, Filing the Wire, ...22 reviews Addison Wesley Publishing Company, 1996 Wouldn't write without it Also know as the AP style guide, this book should be every copywriter's and journalist's bookshelf.

This book covers it all. If you are serious about your writing or the writing of others, this book is one-stop shopping. After editing for over twenty years, this book taught me how to not only think like a writer and editor, but to also think like a business person. It covers what references are needed and why, how to edit in an organized manner, and how to maintain consistency and clarity in ...             Collins Dictionary for Writers & Editors: Essential Reference for Writers, Editors, and Proofreaders1 review Martin Manser HarperCollins UK, 2007 Excellent reference: full of practical information. Martin Manser's Collins Dictionary for Writers & Editors is a great little reference book as it goes straight to the more problematic issues concerning spelling, usage, and grammar, such as the spelling of compound words and the use of punctuation marks in written English. This especially applies to the use of hyphens within compound words which varies considerably from country to country and ...             Using Proofreaders' Marks1 review Mary Anderson Bogle H M Rowe Co, 1985 Stay AWAY! This book is a looseleaf collection that does not teach anything at all about proofreading. I had hoped to see some pages of marked text. Nothing! The papers have an abundance of errors for you to proofread for yourself, but not a word about how to do it. The collection was designed for use with an instructor who would tell you what to do, leaving you to practice on the sheets that ...             20,000 Words Spelled, Divided, and Accented for the Use of Stenographers Students Authors and Proofreaders The Gregg Publishing Company, 1944              capitalization Rates and Ratios Used in the Income Capitalization Approach Capitalization Rules Writing Skills Made Fun: Capitalization, Punctuation & Spelling Capitalization & Punctuation (Straight Forward English Series) No Boring Practice, Please!
