This book includes all of the material from Ide's popular Polishing the PUGS book (now out of print), with added PUGS guidelines and helpful tips from multi-published authors on how to catch typos and other common mistakes.In Proofreading Secrets of Best-Selling Authors, Kathy Ide identifies the industry-standard references for books, magazines, and newspapers (which are different from the guidelines for other types of writing, such as college term papers). Using these official references, she highlights the most common mistakes writers make in the areas of punctuation, usage, grammar, and spelling (for which she uses the acronym PUGS). She also includes guidelines from The Christian Writer's Manual of Style for authors and editors who work in the inspirational market. While this book was published prior to publication of the 17th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style, the CMOS guidelines referenced here did not change--only the rule numbers did. For a detailed summary of the differences between the 16th and 17th editions, visit Kathy's blog at KathyIde.com and search for "CMOS 17."
