The Ne...I think this is a great question, Samantha. The Nearing piece was puzzling. It was obviously not written well, as I had at least four queries for this one paragraph, but what to do about it?<br /><br />I am wondering what it is about biographical notes that leads to their being written so poorly (if this is the case). Who writes these poorly written biographical notes, and where do they fit into manuscripts? If you can't depend on just querying the author for clarification, is there a fairly standard process you can go through to do a rewrite (e.g., look up the person on Wikipedia and select from among the recommended resources). <br /><br />As we get deeper into the editing process, I feel that studying editing has helped improve not only my writing, but my reading!Tishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17241829777190919684noreply@blogger.com
