Check out the Australian Standards for Editing Practice at the Institute for Professional Editors website. Sounds like dry reading? They're really not. The Standards are a great guide to help both novice editors, like myself, as well as seasoned editors, to balance their skill-sets. They're also the essential guide to preparing for the professional accreditation scheme for editors. Speaking of which, the latest accreditation exam is being held later this year, in October 2012. See the link below for information.
