임성규는 충남대학교에서 ‘현대국어의 강조법 연구’로 문학 박사를 받은 뒤 1991년부터 현재까지 광주교육대학교 국어교육과에서 교수로 근무하면서 글쓰기와 문법 교육에 관심을 기울이고 있다.

주요 저서로는 글쓰기 전략과 실제, 초등국어과교육론(공저), 초등국어과 교수 학습 방법(공저), 독서와 정보(공저), 초등 임용논술 특강 등이 있다. 

이번 개정에서 반영한 특징은 다음과 같다. 첫째는 근래에 맞춤법과 관련하여 바뀐 사항들을 최대한 담았다. 문장부호와 표준어휘 사정, 외래어 띄어쓰기 등의 변화를 반영했다. 둘째는 관련된 항목들은 가능한 묶어서 설명했다. 사동 피동의 원리나 쓰임, 의미와 발음의 차이로 나타나는 어휘 표기 등이다. 셋째는 오탈자를 바로잡고, 설명이 잘못됐거나 부족한 부분을 보완했다. 독자들이 이 책을 읽으면서 느끼는 불편을 줄이는 데 집중했다.
