Hi there! I've applied for a copy editing job at an ad agency, and got invited to an interview. What kind of questions can I expect that are specific to copy editing?
@JodiBrandon Жыл бұрын
Andrea, I only work with books, which use a different style guide (Chicago Manual of Style) than newspapers, magazines, and I imagine the ad world do (AP), so I can't advise you well. I'd guess you'll be asked about your familiarity with style guide(s) and your experience with editing, but I've never worked in or been around an agency setting like that. For book copy editing, editing tests are a part of the hiring process, so that's a possibility too. Good luck!

@@JodiBrandon Thanks! I am currently taking an assessment as part of the recruitment process. When you are copyediting text and providing your edited copy, do you just present your finished work or is it important to also show the digital equivalent of red pen to mark where the mistakes in the original text were?

@@SuperCosmicSpaceMagnet This really depends on your client or employer. I typically send self-publishing clients both a marked version and a "clean" version. It's up to them to accept/reject changes, but it can be difficult to read a marked version if there are a lot of changes. If you're working for an employer, they'll dictate this and you won't have to decide!

You may want to mention that, by accepting all the returns, the self published authors are also responsible for paying all of the shipping and handling costs of returning all the books which might add up to hundreds, even thousands, of dollars if those self published authors use a platform like IngramSpark. It all depends on the number of books that are being returned to the authors from individual buyers and from stores.

Hi Jodi. Can one person be hired to do the job of both types of editing and proofreading?
@JodiBrandon2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching! Some copy editors also do proofreading, but others don't. I include a proofread when I copy edit, but I also advise clients to hire a proofreader as well, because a fresh set of eyes is never a bad thing. By the time we're ready for proofreading, I've looked at the manuscript so many times I might be as likely as the author to miss an error. No book is error-free, of course, but we want to get it as close as we can!

What a load of sh.....t First of all you have to be J (which stands for Japanese of course), or swear allegiance to the J cause because if you write anything against the J then your book is never going to be printed, so that's one. You can write all the badmouthing against other people like arabs, muslims (ask salman), chinese, french, germans, africans, aboriginals etc, you will be published and even become a millionaire, but nothing against the J. In other words editing is legal censorship. Editors basically tell you as an author, if you want to be published, do as WE say or start your own publishing company, (which is now super easy online because nobody buys paper books anymore and those who do will not make you a millionaire, the internet will). If you have your book published in Japan however you can write all the crap you wish against the J and this will be published because Japan has no double standards based on religion and ethnicity. The only thing you can't write about in Japan is the Emperor and Imperial household in a negative way, other than that, you are free, which is MUCH more than any western nation (so called the place of freedom) will allow. That's why if you want to read a real book, read only books from authors who refuse editors, there are many of those authors and now thanks to the internet these authors are published. Of course it is called independent authors, as opposed to collabos, oops sorry i mean mainstream authors ! Ironically enough, one person who refuses to be edited is Fran Lebowitz, but then again, she is never going to be a threat to the Japanese cause. When Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa nobody when to him and said "No, blue here", when Michelangelo painted the Sistine, nobody went to him and said, " No, i don't want the finger to point at each other", when Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliette nobody told him "No we want them to stay alive or it won't sell". Authors are artists just like painter and sculptor. Either you are a free artists and write anything you want and demand it to be published or accept it not to be, or you become a colla.... , mainstream author, painter, sculptor, singer, acxtor, etc, ... in other words a puppet, but in that case don't delude yourself, you lose the right to call yourself an artist. It is up to you, but the real artists (and this is becoming an increasingly small club), will cast you out and you will be ridiculed by them. Which, if you are or call yourself a true artist, should be a fate worse than death ! Editor are to authors what galleries are to painters and sculptors. If the Gallery allows you to expose a painting made of your own excrement and will pay you for that, but refuses to hang a swastika, then .. find a better editor or no editor at all. But remember one thing. You can make a painting made of your own excrement or from the blood of new born kitten and puppies, and you will be exposed on 5th and praised and even paid, but a swastika you try to not even sell but just expose on the street, or in the woods in the middle of nowhere or a manuscript against the Js (Japanese), locked in your safe in your house if discovered will guarantee you some time in jail. That's what an editor does, it polices your work to make sure it doesn't become a tool of propaganda against Japanese.
