The debut of Martial Arts and Letters
Schlager Group managing editor Marcia Merryman-Means has formally launched her new blog, titled “Marcial Arts and Letters.” As you’ll see from the first post, Marcia will devote her blog to matters of style and grammar. Everyone who works in reference publishing, from publishers to freelance writers and editors, knows that we all place great emphasis on communicating with precision and consistency. The Chicago Manual of Style, with which most editors have a love/hate relationship (well, in the case of the 15th edition, the scale tips toward hate), is our bible, while Merriam-Webster’s 11th Collegiate Dictionary (to name one standard dictionary) is also a sacred text. I’m sure Marcia will offer many words of wisdom on her blog in the weeks and months to come. Make sure you subscribe to her blog or bookmark it.
