Description
The Chicago Guide to Copyediting Fiction offers a long-awaited solution for fiction copyeditors. For years, writers and editors have relied on nonfiction guides like The Chicago Manual of Style, but this has left the fiction community without a dedicated companion. Amy J. Schneider, a seasoned copyeditor with twenty-five years of experience, addresses this gap in her book. Schneider provides approachable advice on key issues in fiction, including dialogue, voice, grammar, and conscious language. She offers practical solutions to specific tasks like tracking fictional characters, places, and events for continuity across the work. This guide is designed to be an indispensable companion to The Chicago Manual of Style and a versatile tool for copyeditors working in contemporary fiction. By focusing on the unique challenges of fiction copyediting, Schneider delivers a valuable resource that will help editors refine their craft and produce high-quality works.
