Stories I would like to sub: Number three
A road -- possibly with a tenuous Bob Dylan connection -- gets some new street furniture; and I get to write the headline 'The signs they are a-changin''.
I've been working as an editor of one kind or another for ten years. At the moment, I'm a sub on a weekly local newspaper. I cut my editing teeth here back at the start of my career and then flew off to try a life at a magazine, on a website and in book publishing.
This blog is my collection of notes about wordsmithing; and thoughts about subbing. You can contact me by email or leave a note in the comments.
