General Editing
	Self-Editing for Fiction Writers by Renni Browne & Dave King Chapters on dialogue, exposition, point of view, interior monologue, and other techniques take you through the same processes an expert editor would go through to perfect your manuscript. Each point is illustrated with examples, many drawn from the hundreds of books Browne and King have edited.
	Line by Line : How to Edit Your Own Writing by Claire Kehrwald Cook With over 700 examples of original and edited sentences, this book provides information about editing techniques, grammar, and usage for every writer from the student to the published author.
	Editors on Editing: What Writers Need to Know About What Editors Do by Gerald Gross An indispensable guide for editors, would-be editors, and especially writers who want to understand the publishing process.
	The Complete Guide to Editing Your Fiction by Michael Seidman Writers will learn to reread their manuscript paying close attention to the continuity of narrative elements, such as point of view, characterization, sequencing and dialogue. After revising and rearranging these elements, writers will edit stylistic aspects, scanning their work with foolproof techniques that ensure proper spelling, grammar and word choice.
Punctuation & Grammar Focused
	Lapsing Into a Comma : A Curmudgeon's Guide to the Many Things That Can Go Wrong in Print--and How to Avoid Them by Bill Walsh For lovers of language, Lapsing Into a Comma is a sensible and very funny guide to the technicalities of writing and copy editing.
	Woe Is I: The Grammarphobe's Guide to Better English in Plain English by Patricia T. O'Conner Woe Is I gives lighthearted, witty instruction on the subject most of us dreaded in school--grammar. Discussion is brief and concise, and much more engaging than the grammar books you may remember.
