Living Language: Editorial Writing

by JohnShuttleworth (Author)

Synopsis

A practical guide to the whole process of editorial writing, from conception to print. Students are invited to explore the processes of: reading and preparing source material; textual conventions (genre, format, audience, purpose); weaving a new text (including contextualisation of excerpts and editorial features); finding the right voice (registering levels of formality depending upon the target audience); shaping and structuring; and preparing a text for publication. The book also offers advice on what examiners are looking for and what mistakes to avoid. The book is part of the Living Language series, which is designed to meet needs in the teaching of A Level English Language and A Level English Language and Literature. The series seeks to provide information, ideas and background theory which can be easily accessed through enjoyable activities and investigations.

Media Reviews
Plenty of activities. Sufficient detail. Right level. Recommended by chief examiners. -- Mr Wallace, Woodhouse Sixth Form College 19990623 Excellent. George Keith is very good in this regard, with books reflecting his courses and backed up by a writing team of practising teachers. -- Mr B Lead, St Wilfrid's C of E High School 19990624 Clearly written, very accessible and at the appropriate level for the course. Written with syllabus requirements in mind. -- Ms S A Hawkins, Stockport College of Technology 19990625 ...well-written, well-organised, never remotely patronising. Any sane English department will have the original, the new eight (and accompanying tape) as soon as budgets permit...These are patient manuals and the authors have seleted genuinely interesting extracts to inform and illustrate their arguments. -- Times Educational Supplement ...these books would be an invaluable resource for any English Department teaching an 'A' Level sylalbus with language study in it. -- The Use of English
