La Profession de Réviseur Vous Intéresse?
Peu de gens décident d'eux-mêmes de devenir réviseurs. Le plus souvent, c'est la profession qui les choisit. Dans un sens, tout le monde fait de la révision, que ce soit l'écrivain qui change ne serait-ce qu'un mot à son manuscrit, le conférencier qui s'arrête au milieu d'une phrase pour trouver un mot ou une tournure plus justes, le directeur qui revoit une consigne ou qui modifie les clauses d'un contrat, ou encore la secrétaire qui clarifie une phrase d'un texte qu'on lui a dicté. La révision est aussi une profession hautement spécialisée dont le seul objectif est d'améliorer la qualité de la communication. Le travail de la plupart des réviseurs porte sur le texte, mais certains s'occupent des illustrations, de la conception graphique, de la production ou de la gestion.

Professional Editorial Standards
The skills listed in this publication are those most commonly required for editing English-language text, whether on paper or on screen. The editor's functions start when the writer declares the manuscript more or less complete and continue through to the point at which it is ready for publication, regardless of the medium. Editors perform many tasks along the way, including structural editing, stylistic editing, copy editing, markup/coding, and proofreading. The technologies used in editing and in publishing change, but the fundamental tasks and the editorial skills required to work with words remain relatively constant.

Few people choose editing as a profession. More often, the profession of editing chooses them.In one sense, everyone edits. Writers who revise even one word in a manuscript have started editing their work. A speaker who pauses in mid-sentence to find a better word or phrase, a manager who revises an instruction or restates a policy, a secretary who clarifies a sentence in someone else's dictation is, for the moment, an editor. In another sense, editing is a highly specialized profession. It has only one purpose: to improve the quality of communication. Most editors deal with words; some work with pictures, design, production, or management.

Standard Freelance Editorial Agreement
The agreement spells out editorial responsibilities; specifies the agreed fees, reimbursements, and deadlines; and states what terms shall apply if either party terminates the contract before completion. Schedule A clearly defines various editorial activities so that the editor and the client can agree unambiguously on the work to be done. The completed form is a binding legal document.
