The Modern Editor Podcast

A Behind-the-Scenes Look at My Copyediting Process


Listen Later

It’s always helpful to get a glimpse into how others approach their editing projects. No two editors are the same, and there isn’t one right way to get the job done. So whether it’s for new tips, things you haven’t thought of, or just to make your process more efficient, I’m sharing ten prechecks I do at the beginning of every copyediting project I take on.

In this episode, you’ll learn the following:

  • 03:35 – The number one rule I check for and we should all be following in 2023
  • 05:58 – One tool in CMOS that is going to be your best friend
  • 08:30 – How to get your hands on my 60-page Elevate Your Editing Resource Guide, which includes 300+ commonly confused words
  • 10:43 – A quick way to switch out straight quotes and apostrophes for curly
