Aw frogdropping but glad you found time to ask... hehehe I used to be a sports editor and i could only speak lofty in this field of discipline. Sports articles are totally dif'rent from "others" because Sports deals more with jargons... words that can be exaggerating yet makes sports articles very lively and entertaining... and brings the readers right to the action that transpired. Reading a lot about sports articles honed me thoroughly in being a sports editor... stock knowldege plays a potent role in being a sports editor, I love reading artciles related to sports for the past few years... thank you very much my dear frog friend in asking... hehehe i'm on a drinking spree hehehe hope you learn something though...
Hi! (again). This is the way most editors "become an editor"--they learn on the job and as they develop the skills and experience necessary to be a good editor, their pay increases.
Essential to editing is mastery of The Chicago Manual of Style, an about 800 page tome that contains the standards and short-hand that nearly all book publishing houses use.
You have to learn the editor's marks and short-hand in the Chicago Manual of Style, because that's the editing "mark-up" the book industry uses.
There are different kinds of editing, and publishers will specify what they want done. These are copy editing (also called proof reading by those outside the book biz), line editing, content editing. Real "proofing" or proof reading in book biz lingo is what an author does when he/she gets the "blue lines" or galleys from the printer. It's the author's last chance to correct minor errors before the book goes to press.
Hope this helps! If I have any editing jobs I need to outsource, I'll give you one to cut your teeth on.

This doesn't make sense. My article "Gardening for Beginners: 10 Easy Steps to Sowing Seeds which currently ranks in fourth place (despite all the deranking) for "How to Sow Seeds" has had its title changed to "How to Sow Seeds( Plus A Definition)". I'll change it back when...

Wow. I think I am sorely disappointed. I went back and looked at my article that I originally published four or five years ago here. The changes that were made affected the entire tone of my original piece. vocabularly edits, cutting down sentences, they totally tore apart my...

So.. What exactly is the criteria for a HP editor? I'm convinced that you need no more than a 3rd grade education to be an editor. Example.. a pool article about DE filters... I have a clear, perfect, professional picture of a DE filter. My own picture, not copyrighted. Editors replace this title...
