What's the BuZZ?

Norman Hollyn - Editor and Teacher, USC

There is the technology of editing and there is the craft of editing. Norm Hollyn is eminently qualified to teach both. However, in this case he's written a new book: The Lean Forward Moment that discusses how to improve your skills in the craft of editing, What better way is there to start the new year than to find ways to improve our skills that don't require us to buy new gear! You'll find his comments fascinating!
