Hi. My name's Garret Romaine. I'm an instructor of English at Portland State University.
I teach an advanced technical-editing course in the spring of each year,
and I'm really excited about using "Word Up!"
as my textbook for the students.
I think so many times we can get
too caught up in all the rules and the sentence diagramming
and whether it's grammatically accurate, but also, as an editor, you have to have that good bedside manner.
It's got more than just the rules and regulations. It's kind of got the zen of editing.
