I've heard many stories from authors how they had to fight their editor/publisher to <i>not</i> have a change made to their manuscript because the change would have eroded the sense of time and place, obviously something about which the copyeditor had no knowledge. And these authors end up giving way to most changes in order to retain a couple pieces of content they feel are critical to their story. Thus editors/publishers don't want to emphasize the copyediting too much -- and they certainly don't want the author to know who the copyeditor is (at least among NY publishers).<br /><br />Cheers,<br />- martyMarty Halpernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180395701141986711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615571722773062719.post-26807425993897371112010-12-23T19:54:23.638-08:002010-12-23T19:54:23.638-08:00It's fascinating to get an inside account of c...It's fascinating to get an inside account of copyediting, about which writers are left in the dark by their editors/publishers for reasons I can only guess at.
