Episode 61: Amy J. Schneider
March 7, 2023

Amy J. Schneider, writer of the new Chicago Guide to Copyediting Fiction, returns to That Word Chat for our March 7 episode.

 

Schneider previously appeared as part of the Quad in our Dec. 22, 2020 episode. She returns with a new book that takes over for fiction editing where the Chicago Manual of Style leaves off.

Schneider has been a full-time freelance copyeditor and proofreader of fiction and nonfiction and owner of Featherschneider Editorial Services since 1995. Since 2012, she has written articles and presented in-person and online sessions on for regional and national editors' associations. Next month, she’ll present twice at ACES Evolve, the 27th annual conferences of ACES: The Society for Editing.


Schneider says that when she is not working in the soft glow of her four-monitor desktop, she
