I’m in the midst of revising various writing projects so words related to the craft of reading and writing have caught my eye and landed in my inbox.
bibliogony: the art of producing and publishing books.
logophile: a lover of words.

retcon:to later revise an established element of a fictional story.
bowdlerize: to amend a written work by removing or modifying passages considered vulgar or objectionable.
quaere: ask; inquire (an imperative used to introduce or suggest a question).

bahuvrihi: a compound noun or adjective in which the first word describes the person or object denoted by the second.
