FOWLER’S MODERN ENGLISH USAGE

By Elaine Schumacher

FOWLER’S MODERN ENGLISH USAGE

I recently came across a first edition reprint of FOWLER’S MODERN ENGLISH USAGE––a book I had been meaning to read––in my neighborhood Little Free Library. Like THE ELEMENTS OF STYLE by Strunk and White and THE CHICAGO MANUAL OF STYLE, this book is often recommended to people learning how to write and edit, but it’s one I hadn’t had the chance to read yet.

Editing with Empathy

The Beginning of Our New YA Title

Everyone likes Filipino food, and we are shamelessly capitalizing on that love. After all, when else will we get to work on a book with the words “egg rolls” in the title?

Production Workflow at Ooligan Press: A Project Manager’s Early Perspective

Oolies (that’s what we call the graduate students who help run Ooligan Press) are simultaneously publishing professionals—meeting deadlines and industry standards to produce successful books—and actively learning new skills, collaborating innovatively, and pursuing academic success. At Ooligan Press, the books we publish follow a production workflow, which is the backbone of the entire process.
