Eight Step Editing with Jim Taylor

2005-Dec-02

The ever-gracious Jim Taylor proved once again that editors need not be feared. One participant admitted to some pre-workshop jitters when she said, "I thought all those experts in the room would make me feel as though I don't know what I'm doing, or maybe Jim would ask me something I didn't know in front of everyone." Her fears were, of course, unfounded.

Editors of all ages and a wide variety of backgrounds attended Jim's workshop on a chilly December morning. It's a good thing everyone wore layers, because the CMU rooms are notoriously cold.

Jim Taylor has developed a system for editing the most tangled of texts in only eight steps. One participant wrote, "[Jim's technique] will help me in my writing as much as in my editing." Another commented on the usefulness of being able to formalize his approach to editing.
