  Wording Around with Editing gives readers everything they need to get their first draft of any writing project ready to publish. 
  The first three chapters detail steps of the editing process and introduce the types of editing: Substantive, Stylistic and Copy. The next four chapters get into the nitty gritty of each of those, with an additional chapter on Proofreading. The final three chapters explain the importance of writing communities in helping writers bring their book to its very best form. Every chapter of Wording Around with Editing ends with a resource to help readers dive more deeply into that chapters' topic, as well as prompts that help authors take their first steps on each stage of the editing process. 
  "Kathy Mac is a 'writer's writer.' In this tight and mighty work, she cuts to the heart of what she's learned about process, craft, and loving yourself through the hard parts of writing." 
  – AJ Ripley 
  During the COVID-19 lockdown in the spring of 2020, poet and creative writing professor Kathy Mac (St. Thomas University, Fredericton, Canada) taught a free online course, the notes for which became Wording Around with Prose, the first in the Wording Around series. Wording Around with Editing: Getting your First Draft Ready to Publish is the second one in the series.

  This book helps readers develop practices that will result in deep, formative, and faithful reading so they can contribute to the flourishing of their communities and cultivate their own spiritual and intellectual depth. 
   
   
   
  The authors present reading as a remedy for three prevalent cultural vices—distraction, hostility, and consumerism—that impact the possibility of formative reading. Informed by James K. A. Smith's work on "the spiritual power of habit," Deep Reading provides resources for engaging in formative and culturally subversive reading practices that teach readers how to resist vices, love virtue, and desire the good. 
   
   
   
  Rather than emphasizing the spiritual benefits of reading specific texts such as Dante's Divine Comedy or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the authors focus on the practice of reading itself. They examine practices many teachers, students, and avid readers employ—such as reading lists, reading logs, and discussion—and demonstrate how such practices can be more effectively and intentionally harnessed to result in deepreading. The practices apply to any work that is meant to be read deeply.
