Participants in this course learn to effectively improve what they and others write. Through in-class discussion and exercises, participants explore when and how to apply different levels of editing, from a light touch to a heavier hand. In addition, participants learn about the roles of the proofreader and editor, proofreading techniques and symbols, and strategies for improving written materials without destroying the author’s intent or ego. The course fee includes a copy of Amy Einsohn’s The Copyeditor's Handbook, a practical manual for both novice and experienced editors.
