Dick Margolis -
"Turning Your Manuscript into a Book"
Dick’s first editing job was chief copy editor for his junior
high
school newspaper–unpaid, of course–48 years ago. But his interest in
typography predates that by a couple of years. He got serious about it
in seventh grade.
In the intervening decades, Dick has been a butcher, a baker, and a
candlestick maker–yes, all three–and, along the way, has had paying gigs
as an advertising copywriter, a magazine columnist, a book editor, a
technical writer, a marketing writer, an herbarist [sic], a Web
designer, a compositor, a lithographer, and a few other things he’s
already forgotten. But through it all, he has remained true to his
passion of clear communication through careful editing and appropriate
typographic design.
Meetings are scheduled for
the Monday following the CAPA Meeting
each month.
