The Employee - copy edit review

Lauren Wetmore <████████████████████████████████ > To: Mariane Bourcheix-Laporte <████████████████████ > Cc: Josh Schwebel <privatejosh@gmail.com>

Dear Mariane,

I just looked at the date of my last email to you and I can’t believe that 5 months have passed! First of all, thank you again for sharing that information about the ACWU - Dana incorporated it into her text and it was an important inclusion.

We have been working steadily on The Employee, adding some more exciting new contributors and working on the existing texts with a copyeditor called Jessica Anthony

I’m coming back to you now with her edit of your text (see attached along with the style sheet we have been developing). I would usually not bother you with what is quite a light copy edit, but there are a few areas of re-wording that I felt should be run by you. 

In addition to this, there is some remaining work needed to update the references. Jessica has converted all the in-text citations to footnotes, but given that Chicago style requires full first names, access dates, and publisher location, we will need you to take a look at them to fill in the missing information. Jessica has corrected the first few notes by way of example and suggested this as a helpful resource for Chicago-style formatting.

I regret having to come back to you with more work on this text. Please let me know if there is any way that I can help with the final push.

With best wishes,
Lauren

Hello Lauren,

Yes, time has flown by! Thank you for the update. I'm glad to know that the project is advancing. I guess I forgot how to use Chicago style after a few years in communication - where APA reigns over all other styles! I'll aim to have revised the footnotes and reviewed the copy-editing (which is excellent!) by mid-March. Let me know if that works.

Best,
Mariane
