This month is the seventh installment of a new feature on the Gospel-Centered Discipleship website to coach writers. Each month I take one paragraph from a GCD article to highlight some aspect of what makes for good writing. I’ll point out what made the writing work so well and how we can incorporate more of that writerly goodness into our craft.

This month is PART II of a pervious conversation about the principle that good writing results when authors and editors work together for the benefit of readers.

I mention Carol Fisher Saller’s book The Subversive Copy Editor, Second Edition: Advice from Chicago (or, How to Negotiate Good Relationships with Your Writers, Your Colleagues, and . . . Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing) and The Copyeditor’s Handbook: A Guide for Book Publishing and Corporate Communications.
