» Literalman - serving the reader
I sometimes teach short classes on writing and editing. My answer to many questions is: What will best serve the reader?People ask things such as "Should I include an ISBN in bibliographical notes?" and "How often should I spell out abbreviations?" The answer depends on the needs of the reader. I see my job as an editor (when I'm not being a writer) as helping the writer communicate with the reader.
