Wed Jun 3 15:35:57 CEST 2015

Dear colleagues,

I am not sure if you all consider this relevant to your interests, but I thought I might as well let you know about my new book on editing, which includes interviews with Prof Jerome McGann (for those interested in bibliogaphy and editing theory) and three people involved in digital publishing in one form or another: Peter Binfield of PeerJ; Evan Ratliff of Atavist; and Phoebe Ayers from the Wikimedia Foundation.

The reference is:

Greenberg, Susan. 'Editors Talk about Editing: Insights for Readers, Writers and Publishers'. New York: Peter Lang, 2015.

Also available on Amazon etc.

Many bests,
Susan
