| dc.description.abstract | Editing is highly technical activity in the book publishing process which is central to the overall success of a publication. Editing consists of sequential and interrelated activities which are geared towards the production of a worth while publication for readers. The paper takes a surgical look at the content editing and copy editing stages of the book editing process. Content editing ensures the veracity of the intellectual content of manuscripts while copy editing is concerned with the purification of manuscripts through the use of proofreaders’ marks. The current trend of electronic editing in publishing was also highlighted in the paper. | en_US |
