Summary

• With our Proofreading & Editing Course, you’ll learn how to proofread and edit copy so that it is ready for publication.

• You’ll learn editing and the techniques used to perform the roles effectively, important information on language, and how to go about setting up your own business, offering proofreading and copy editing services.

• The course begins by clearly defining copy editing and proofreading, noting the similarities and crossovers between them, and looking at each function separately.

• You’ll discover the skills needed for both roles and where each comes in the editing process and why, as well as the differences between newspaper and magazine editors and those who work in book publishing.

• With roles defined, the Proofreading & Editing Course moves on to impart the fundamental skills of copy editing tables and figures, how to edit captions and footnotes, and how and why you should fact check.
