Toward Clarity in Editing and Publishing: Behind the Scenes at the Library of Congress Publishing Office and the Chicago Manual 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 Brasington Clark provides insight into how publishing helps further the Library of Congress’ mission, the office’s role in originating projects, and the office’s criteria for selecting publishing partners. Carol Saller talks through the origin of the CMOS Q&A and the Shop Talk blog, and provides a bit of perspective on the motivations for bringing out a new edition of the manual.
