Editing and Proofreading
Writing is often seen as the glamour part of the publishing industry, just as actors and directors are the much hyped up part of the movie world. But behind all these people are those who ensure that the end product makes sense and is free of mistakes.
The film editor is a key person in the making of movies and in print it is the proofreaders and editors who ensure the highest possible quality of the product.
