Revising and editing are tasks translators are increasingly called upon to do but are rarely trained for. Here Brian Mossop draws on years of professional experience to fill this urgent gap. Using a systematic approach peppered with insider’s tips and numerous real-world examples, he offers guidance not just for students learning to edit texts written by others, but also for professional translators who wish to improve their self-revision ability or learn to revise others. This book can thus be used in the translation class, as a basis for professional development workshops, or for self-study. It includes detailed coverage of a wide range of topics including: copyediting, stylistic editing, structural editing, checking for consistency, use of computer aids, revision parameters, degrees of revision, self-revision, quality assessment.
