Words We Use: Revised Edition (Paperback or Softback)

Words We Use is a glossary that provides an overview of the terms publishing professionals use in every department, from editorial to sales. The words used in publishing and media are a distinct and essential part of our ability to communicate with each other. In some cases, the language is similar in books and magazines, digital media, or comics, but may have a different meaning. This guide includes those differences.

Words We Use: Revised Edition offers readers an in-depth understanding of the terms and processes of the publishing industry. Languages and systems are not static, and these have grown, changed, and continue to evolve in our digital world. The industry has progressed in many ways, and some of those changes have been included in this revised edition. Here you shall find a detailed workflow chart, additional terms for artificial intelligence, a new section geared towards manufacturing and production, and much more.
