This order of punctuation is bugging me. It’s not even a question, but according to style manuals the period or question mark goes inside of the end quotes. Or am I mis-recalling it. #copyeditors is this correct?

I was lucky to copyedit the lovely book The Lichen Museum by A. Laurie Palmer last year. My own backyard is a rich resource for the topic!

IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE!
My colleague Amy J. Schneider wrote THE definitive manual for us #fiction #copyeditors. Get yours directly from the University of Chicago Press and it will ship within a few days. (Amazon won't be shipping until March.)
The Chicago Guide to Copyediting Fiction fills a need. CMoS is the standard for books, yes, but fiction is squishy. Here Amy gives us the how-to for dialogue, voice, and what to do "When Fact and Fiction Collide" (Chapter 9).
Get your copy. You need this.

Plenty to mull in the LitHub article that is polarising the #AmEditing community.
Read the piece here: https://lithub.com/against-copyediting-is-it-time-to-abolish-the-department-of-corrections/
Two things I've learnt as an #editor – the only career I've had and love – that also apply to life:
- '... the attachments we bring to the enterprise of "correcting" ... are, almost always, about something else' (from LitHub article above)
- always question the status quo.

When did the Dominion of Ceylon become Sri Lanka? Even Wikipedia is not really clear - they did independence first, but they changed the name later.
Does anyone know the year of Ceylon becoming Sri Lanka? Was it 1972?

Henry Fuhrmann, Los Angeles Times assistant managing #editor, was a gem, and a #scholarship in his name for #copyeditors is a wonderful idea. It is being established by the #Asian American #Journalists Association. Please consider contributing. https://aaja-official.salsalabs.org/aaja-henryfuhrmann/index.html
