Toward Clarity in Editing and Publishing: Style as a Reflection of the Cultural Moment
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, both Carol and Becky reflect on how style can and does reflect a cultural moment, the politics of copyediting, and how maintaining flexibility as a copyeditor can actually be a virtue.
