Publishers of books and magazines often relax their house style when it comes to fiction manuscripts and short stories. It can even seem as if the rules are suspended for particular authors or genres. At the same time, clear guidelines on which rules to bend are often not given to copy editors, who in turn are being asked to take on more substantive editing responsibilities. But there are ways to approach editing fiction that satisfy both the publisher and the writer, while leaving the copy editor's sanity intact. This audio conference will tell you how.

To take part in the audio conference, you simply dial in to a toll-free number. Wendalyn Nichols, editor of Copy Editor newsletter, will share her strategies for editing books and articles by creative writers, and there will be plenty of time for your questions.
