This blog is now officially on hiatus. Followers will note that I haven't posted since November. This is for two reasons. First, I have taken a new position at UC Press that requires my full attention. And second, I feel that I've said as much as I have to say--for now, at least--about developmental editing.
I will be sure to announce when the handbook is available in paperback. And I hope to someday have time to develop materials for a seminar and a course to be taught out of the handbook. For now, I must turn my attention to the challenges and opportunities that we book publishers face today as we gallop headlong into the era of digital books.
Thank you for following, for commenting on my posts, and for submitting your stories to the DE History Project.
Happy editing!
