Toward Clarity in Editing and Publishing: The Present and Future of Style
For this four-part series, Bill speaks with Becky Brasington Clark, the head of the Library of Congress’ publishing office and Carol Saller, chief copyeditor of the Sixteenth Edition of the Chicago Manual of Style. Their conversation weaves together the mission of publishing at the Library of Congress and the ethical and moral considerations that emerge from editorial, style, and publishing norms. In this episode, Becky provides a deep dive on the publishing office’s criteria and procedures for producing books, while Carol addresses a few items in the Seventeenth edition of the Manual that made it in just under the wire. She also previews a few items the staff at the University of Chicago Press are keeping an eye on for the Eighteenth edition.
