Subject:Editing tips From:Douglas Max <dmax -at- BELLATLANTIC -dot- NET> Date:Wed, 14 Oct 1998 09:21:11 -0400
With regards to my offer to send a proofreading and editing tips
attachment personally to anyone who asked...
Already my fingers are worn out--having received about 25 requests so
far. Fortunately our galant moderator said he'd post the tips in topic
summaries for the listserv at:
www.raycomm.com/techwhirl/
I'm sure they'll be there soon. I hope that you'll find them as useful
as I have...especially in editing the tip page itself. Six iterations
and I still found another typo. Unfortunately the charge for perfection
on a sheet like this is high!
