Description


In "Why Editors Drink," veteran editor Rob Reinalda takes a snarky look at the foibles of online writing, drawing a sharp focus on linguistic missteps from the business world. Along with his acerbic commentary, the veteran journalist offers guidance for writers and editors.
This is both a funny textbook and an informative collection of humorous observations, all from the mind of a man described both as "a modern Robert Benchley" and as "the best editor I've ever worked with."
So, grab your cocktail shaker or uncork your favorite vintage, and dive in.
