Abstract

3. Germano notes, astutely, that ‘when writers on writing say something about what makes a book work, the first thing they emphasize is often the writer’s voice’ (157). Germano’s is a voice of someone I would delight in inviting to dinner. 4. With respect to copy-editing, readers can consult the grammar, spelling, and style guides of their choice. Or, perhaps closer to Haag’s method, see Claire Kehrwald Cook, Line by Line: How to Improve Your Own Writing (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1985); or Virginia Tufte, Artful Sentences: Syntax as Style (Cheshire, CT: Graphics Press, 2006). 5. I love what Haag offers about titles: All authors should aim to ‘distill in one elegant title the premise’ of the book (89). Given the misleading nature of perfection vis-à-vis revising, though, I was more predisposed to appreciate Germano’s masterfully subtitled book. 6. A book that falls midway between Germano’s and Haag’s approaches is Scott Norton’s Developmental Editing: A Handbook for Freelancers, Authors, and Publishers (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2009). Norton successfully presents lengthier examples while engaging with macro-level issues; his book consequently requires more of a commitment from its readers. 7. Examples of Haag’s ‘trickster clichés’ include in their infinite wisdom, rear its ugly head, and fraught with peril (269). 8. Sixty-five considerations make for a lot of passes through a text! But similar issues can be addressed simultaneously, since the aim is to learn how to become a good self-editor. To that end, both Germano and Haag wisely recommend reading one’s text aloud. 9. But, indeed, as Haag points out, ‘Shortening a manuscript is challenging work’ (200).
《如何进行有效的同行评议》作者:Gloria Barczak和Abbie Griffin
3.Germano敏锐地指出,“当作家在写作时谈到是什么让一本书成功时,他们首先强调的往往是作者的声音”(157)。杰尔马诺的声音是我乐意邀请的人的声音。4. 在文字编辑方面,读者可以参考自己选择的语法、拼写和风格指南。或者,也许更接近哈格的方法,看克莱尔·克瓦尔德·库克,一行一行:如何提高自己的写作(波士顿:霍顿米夫林出版社,1985年);或Virginia Tufte,《巧妙的句子:语法作为风格》(Cheshire, CT:图形出版社,2006)。5. 我喜欢Haag关于书名的建议:所有作者都应该以“在一个优雅的书名中提炼出书的前提”为目标(89)。不过,考虑到-à-vis修改过程中完美的误导本质,我更倾向于欣赏杰尔马诺这本配有巧妙字幕的书。6. 一本介于Germano和Haag方法之间的书是Scott Norton的《发展编辑:自由职业者、作家和出版商手册》(芝加哥:芝加哥大学出版社,2009年)。诺顿成功地提出了较长的例子,同时涉及宏观层面的问题;因此,他的书需要读者更多的投入。7. 黑格的“骗子陈词滥调”的例子包括他们无限的智慧,抬起丑陋的头,充满危险(269)。8. 65个考虑因素构成了文本的大量传递!但类似的问题可以同时解决,因为目标是学习如何成为一名优秀的自我编辑。为此,Germano和Haag都明智地建议大声朗读文本。9. 但是,正如哈格指出的那样,“缩短手稿是一项具有挑战性的工作”(200页)。

期刊介绍: For more than 40 years, the Journal of Scholarly Publishing has been the authoritative voice of academic publishing. The journal combines philosophical analysis with practical advice and aspires to explain, argue, discuss, and question the large collection of new topics that continually arise in the publishing field.
