itemprop=\"text\" ><p>After graduating in 2022 Levi Coren now works at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackstonepublishing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blackstone Publishing<\/a> as a copyeditor. Levi was inspired to work towards a career in copyediting after hearing a fellow SOU English alum talk about their job at a career panel in 2019. He got his job at Blackstone right out of college, without any previous freelance experience. Levi was able to jump right into the copyediting world because of all the great experience he gained as an <a href=\"\/academics\/english\/programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">English major<\/a> and from working at the <a href=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/the-tutoring-center-at-sou\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tutoring and Writing Center<\/a> during his time at SOU.<\/p>\n<p>Working at SOU\u2019s Writing Center gave Levi experience workshopping pieces of writing. Levi notes that through \u201ctutoring and editing are very different, they both require a strong understanding of grammar, punctuation\u2026and strong communication with the writer.\u201d As an English major at SOU, Levi chose courses focused on grammar and language when he could in order \u201cto build up useful background knowledge.\u201d Through his SOU courses, Levi learned how to read closely, \u201cjust focusing on a portion of a text and appreciating the deeper meanings of the words on the page and the way they were put together.\u201d The experience Levi gained through his coursework was helpful to the copyediting world and \u201ca great way to begin thinking about the way an author\u2019s choices matter.\u201d Additionally, all the feedback he received from professors and peers on his own written work helped advance his expertise as a writer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lx3ivgtp-c18d9d6ee9a1dd60907c2eaa076e0a09\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lx3ivgtp-c18d9d6ee9a1dd60907c2eaa076e0a09 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:26px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lx3ivgtp-c18d9d6ee9a1dd60907c2eaa076e0a09 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock rising-quote av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote>\n<p class=\"dig-4\" style=\"text-align: left\"><em>&#8220;Learning from one&#8217;s own errors is a good way to improve as a writer, but <span class=\"amaze-ultra madrone\">it can also be an opportunity to grow as an editor.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"pop-8\" style=\"font-size: 0.6em;text-align: right\">\u2013 Levi Coren<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lx3ix8dl-dd0cb28320a72ef961472646864b0561\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lx3ix8dl-dd0cb28320a72ef961472646864b0561 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lx3ix8dl-dd0cb28320a72ef961472646864b0561 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>His current title at Blackstone is Print Book Editor which includes \u201cline editing, copyediting, and proofreading.\u201d These three different types of editing are all on the sentence-level, which means that he rarely has to look at overarching topics like plot, tone, or character; this work is done before Levi and his team receive a manuscript. When assigned as manuscript as a line editor, Levi reads the manuscript and focuses on the writer\u2019s \u201csyntax and diction, working to hone the writer\u2019s style and bring out what they intend.\u201d Simultaneously, Levi is copyediting and working with the text on a mechanical level looking at \u201cgrammar, punctuation, consistency, and typos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Levi is assigned a manuscript as a proofer, that means that \u201cthe manuscript has already gone through both a developmental and line edit\/copyedit.\u201d At this stage, the manuscript has also been fully designed and formatted, so Levi is working with a completed draft. When proofing, Levi is \u201creading to catch lingering typos and errors, reviewing the formatting and suggesting changes where necessary, and communicating with the line editor to ensure that any remaining uncertainties or issues are okayed or resolved with the author.\u201d He enjoys the process of breaking down details like \u201ccharacter descriptions, timelines, and coined terms.\u201d In addition to reading, all three forms of editing require \u201clots of cross referencing with the <em>Chicago Manual of Style<\/em> and <em>Merriam-Webster\u2019s<\/em> dictionary, plus various reviews, quality checks, and edits of the text on covers.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lx3j0lyx-673d9b431d57654beac3861b598548ed\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lx3j0lyx-673d9b431d57654beac3861b598548ed .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:26px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lx3j0lyx-673d9b431d57654beac3861b598548ed '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock rising-quote av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote>\n<p class=\"dig-4\" style=\"text-align: left\"><em><span class=\"amaze-ultra madrone\">\u201cI love taking a complex manuscript and breaking it down,<\/span> sorting out the details and determining what needs further discussion and what is likely to cause problems in the future.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"pop-8\" style=\"font-size: 0.6em;text-align: right\">\u2013 Levi Coren<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lx3j2xwk-47312a49d09efcdaef33cc7e9641e3fb\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lx3j2xwk-47312a49d09efcdaef33cc7e9641e3fb .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lx3j2xwk-47312a49d09efcdaef33cc7e9641e3fb '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>One unique aspect of working for an independent publishing company like Blackstone is that Levi is often in direct communication with authors. This presents an extra challenge, as he has to be sure to \u201ccommunicate edits and suggestions in a thoughtful, poilite, and careful way.\u201d He tries to make sure that his suggestions and phrases \u201cproperly appreciate the work and deliberation that the author may have put into something that [he is] asking them to change.\u201d In addition to communicating with authors, Levi also has to balance working with a \u201cmuch larger, interconnected web\u201d of people at Blackstone: \u201cEven just in the print book department, I need to communicate effectively with coworkers and find ways to manage my workload when I may have five or six books at various stages of the publishing process, all of which other people are also responsible for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to human collaborators, Levi has had the option of GenAI collaboration in his field. Blackstone Publishing has expressed \u201ca preference to not rely on AI in writing or editing print books.\u201d As an insider to the writing and editing world, Levi believes that AI is a poor replacement for both practices, and those who say differently do not understand the hard work and dedication that goes into writing\/editing. He does occasionally use platforms like Grammarly to catch errors that slip past, but is also hyper aware that Grammarly and other editing softwares \u201ccan only make predictions about how words fit together based on probability, and have no insight into the writer\u2019s mind and intentions.\u201d Levi and his fellow editors find themselves rejecting more suggestions from these platforms than they accept.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-40fik0o-727d0497ba6cd8deec0ea0252c92897a\">\n.avia-image-container.av-40fik0o-727d0497ba6cd8deec0ea0252c92897a img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-40fik0o-727d0497ba6cd8deec0ea0252c92897a .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-40fik0o-727d0497ba6cd8deec0ea0252c92897a av-styling-no-styling avia-align-  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-20'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/06\/Levi-Coren-on-snowy-day-with-cat.webp 1920w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/06\/Levi-Coren-on-snowy-day-with-cat-300x169.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/06\/Levi-Coren-on-snowy-day-with-cat-1030x579.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/06\/Levi-Coren-on-snowy-day-with-cat-768x432.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/06\/Levi-Coren-on-snowy-day-with-cat-1536x864.webp 1536w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/06\/Levi-Coren-on-snowy-day-with-cat-1500x844.webp 1500w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/06\/Levi-Coren-on-snowy-day-with-cat-705x397.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/06\/Levi-Coren-on-snowy-day-with-cat.jpg\" height=\"1080\" width=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/06\/Levi-Coren-on-snowy-day-with-cat.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/06\/Levi-Coren-on-snowy-day-with-cat-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/06\/Levi-Coren-on-snowy-day-with-cat-1030x579.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/06\/Levi-Coren-on-snowy-day-with-cat-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/06\/Levi-Coren-on-snowy-day-with-cat-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/06\/Levi-Coren-on-snowy-day-with-cat-1500x844.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/06\/Levi-Coren-on-snowy-day-with-cat-705x397.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" class=\"wp-image-89341 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-89341 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Levi Coren on snowy day with cat\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lx3jbl37-9ad5bc7c8a46678f68c7c4e139ce6cd2\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lx3jbl37-9ad5bc7c8a46678f68c7c4e139ce6cd2 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:12px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lx3jbl37-9ad5bc7c8a46678f68c7c4e139ce6cd2 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Pictured Above: Levi Coren<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lx3j94cq-d6ce87d775455820f5d5605b4f607850\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lx3j94cq-d6ce87d775455820f5d5605b4f607850 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lx3j94cq-d6ce87d775455820f5d5605b4f607850 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Since working at Blackstone, Levi\u2019s eye for detail has improved, as he has had \u201clots of opportunities to practice finding solutions to problems.\u201d He also gets the opportunity to read books that he would not regularly pick up, expanding the genres he reads.
