online resources
Websites I use most often in my editorial work include:
in print
Three books I have found particularly useful:
- Butcher's Copy-editing: The Cambridge Handbook for Editors, Copy-editors and Publishers, by Judith Butcher et al. (4th edn, Cambridge University Press, 2006)
- The Penguin Guide to Punctuation, by R.L. Trask (Penguin, 1997)
- New Hart’s Rules (Oxford University Press, 2005)

My colleagues in the SfEP and Glasgow Editors’ Network freely and generously share their knowledge and experience.
a note on the site
The blackbird logo is based on an engraving in William Yarrell’s A History of British Birds (Van Voorst, 1871).
I use Crimson Editor and the Firefox Web Developer extension for website maintenance. All pages meet W3C standards for valid HTML and CSS coding.
