A hilarious take on copyediting

[kay_cassidy]

Here is the funniest thing I have EVER read on copyediting... they copyedit Shakespeare! A must read (and must laugh!) for anyone who has ever gone through the copyediting process. :-)

LOL! I love Shakespeare. I am sooo happy his lines didn't get axesd. However, I bet many a high school student would much prefer the editor's changes. :-)

Speaking as a copy chief (my day job for 10+ years)...this is the funniest damn thing I've seen in a long, long time. Thanks for sharing!

thanks

Glad you enjoyed my edit of Shakespeare. Maybe you would also like my book publishing glossary.
