Stories I would like to sub: Number seven
While stealing some lead from a church roof, a fishmonger is struck by a portion of frozen white fish (possibly battered and with chips) that has fallen from an aeroplane. I would write the headline 'Hand of cod'.
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.
