The Subversive Copy Editor is all about win-win strategies for editors and writers.
“Saller writes with wisdom and a great generosity of spirit. . . . An ideal complement to any style guide: practical, relentlessly supportive and full of ed-head laughs.”—Publishers Weekly
“I’ve got dozens of books concerned with the nuts and bolts of copy-editing, but this is the only one that teaches the fine art of chilling out. . . . I think Mr. Bernstein and Messrs. Strunk and White will find Saller to be good company.”—Jennifer Balderama, The New York Times, Paper Cuts blog
