" The Assistant Editor is the unsung hero of the editing room, tip-toeing around land mines to keep everything running smoothly in a job where all the important rules are unwritten. Until now. Norman Hollyn does an excellent job explaining the process of editing, the role of the assistant editor, and clearly labeling where all the booby traps are buried."
- Larry Jordan, producer, director, editor, and Apple-certified trainer

" This book is an excellent introduction to editing in the real world. Norman Hollyn not only tells you what is necessary, he tells you what is efficient. He knows how important that can be because he's been there."
- Burton J. Sears, film instructor at Savannah College of Art and Design, editor of Virtuosity, Jacob's Ladder, and Henry and June
