A GIF guide to the publishing process. A GIF guide for editors dealing with problem writers. A slightly less helpful though still taxonomical GIF guide to problem editors. A GIF guide to being almost as  great a journalistic GIF-er as Ann Friedman. A GIF to apologize to you for trying to coin the term “GIF-er.”

Booze, coffee, tea, and plum cake all make this glossary of food writers eat. Also, happy birthday, Norton Anthology of English Literature.
