Searching the Oxford Reference Collection

octobre 11, 2022 by Wayne Jones | 4 commentaires sur Searching the Oxford Reference Collection

I’m a minimalist in almost all aspects of my life. The decor of my condo is spare. It’s not polished concrete like you see in those gigantic open-concept loft apartments that have been converted from warehouse spaces (though frankly I see the appeal).

What Does a Recipe Editor Do?

avril 19, 2022 by Judy Phillips | 4 commentaires sur What Does a Recipe Editor Do?

Whether for soufflé, soup, salsa or something else altogether, a culinary recipe is essentially a how-to document. As a form of technical editing, then, recipe editing is all about ensuring that the user (the reader) can successfully assemble the product (a dish). As a recipe editor, it’s my responsibility (along with the author’s, of course) […]

juillet 6, 2021 by Lucy Payette | 4 commentaires sur Summer Reading/Listening Series 2021: Part 1

Some of the best book and podcast recommendations come from fellow editors. It’s no surprise — we learn and refine our skills by reading and listening to content.
