A propos de cet article

xx, 377, [3] pages. Includes An Annotated Bibliography of Books on Editing and Publishing by Jean-Louis Brindamour and Joseph M Lubow. This work addresses the Theory and Practice of Editing. Gerald Jeremiah Gross was born in Jersey City on Oct. 10, 1921. He graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School and was taking classes at City College and working at a bookstore when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The next day he married Flora Finn (who was born Finkelstein), and the day after that he enlisted. He served in the Army Air Forces, flying numerous combat missions as a navigator and bombardier, including the bombing of Berlin. After the war, Mr. Gross graduated from Columbia and began his career at the publishing house Reynal & Hitchcock, which later merged with Harcourt. When he left Macmillan in 1975, he joined Boston University, where, as vice president for the arts, publications and media, he persuaded its president at the time, John Silber, that the university should have its own resident theater. Gerald Gross, was a longtime book editor and publishing executive. Mr. Gross’s three-decade career in publishing included more than decade as an editor at Harcourt Brace, where two books he worked on — "The Field of Vision," a novel by Wright Morris, and the poetry collection "Things of This World," by Richard Wilbur — won National Book Awards in 1957. He also worked at Pantheon, and from 1962 to 1975 at Macmillan, which published the translations of Speer’s two best-selling memoirs, "Inside the Third Reich" (1970) and, "Spandau: The Secret Diaries" (1976). Since 1962 Editors on Editing has been an indispensable guide for editors, would-be editors, and especially writers who want to understand the publishing process. Written by America’s most distinguished editors, these 38 essays will teach, inform, and inspire anyone interested in the world of editing. Editors on Editing includes essays on the evolution of the American editor; the ethical and moral dimensions of editing; what an editor looks for in a query letter, proposal, and manuscript; line editing; copyediting; the freelance editor; the question of political correctness; making the most of writers’ conferences; and numerous other topics.
