Book Review:

"I have rarely seen the work of a medical editor so clearly, and entertainingly, defined. The next time someone asks what working in medical editing is like, I'll hand them this book. As Gastel notes, medical editing is a broad term encompassing a range of activities and skills, with its practitioners often coming from diverse backgrounds. By deftly covering all aspects of medical editing, readers get a comprehensive view of the profession that can help inform their career choices and enlighten what they do in their individual roles. Truly, an authoritative guide for anyone interested in medical editing in all its forms."
