Editing Fact and Fiction

is a wonderful book for those contemplating the publishing field! It takes you through the process a manuscript undergoes to become published, it explores all the different kinds of editing, it teaches how to edit (as much as is possible in a chapter), and it explains how to find jobs or further your education in the field. The only slight negative about it is that the book was published in 1994, and therefore, the second-to-last chapter on computers in the publishing field is highly outdated. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend the book! :)
