Brian Mossop

Brian Mossop is a translator, editor, and teacher whose practical approach shapes Revising and Editing for Translators. Routledge presents the book as a course text and professional guide to revision, editing, quality assessment, and the decisions translators make while checking their own or another person's work. Its examples and exercises distinguish correction from improvement and connect sentence-level choices with purpose and readership. Mossop spent four decades translating and revising French-to-English material for the Canadian Government Translation Bureau, then taught revision in York University's translation program for many years. That combination of institutional practice and classroom experience gives the book its emphasis on workable procedures rather than abstract rules. Routledge has continued to update the volume, including new discussion of changing technologies and professional settings.
