One of the strongest pieces of advice that we give to our authors is to hire an editor. There is no way that a person can self-edit. The human brain works in mysterious ways, glossing over errors because it knows what it means to say even though it is not imparting a clear meaning to the reader. Hence, hire an editor.
Anyway, this morning I was doing a crossword puzzle in which one of the clues was "editing mark" - 5 letters. The answer is "caret" (see above). So, I was inspired to find a quick reference of editing marks for you so that the next time your editor returns your manuscript with red marks all over it, you will know where you went wrong.
