This course focuses on the principles and practice of copyediting and proofreading through the close examination of manuscript extracts and page proofs. Using industry resources, you extend your knowledge and skills in punctuation and house style, and make judgements about the structure and line writing of fiction and non-fiction works. You explore electronic processes, learn editing and proofreading mark-up and technique, and handle proofs with numerous design features. You edit a piece of writing for a simulated anthology, use style sheets and collaborate closely with your author.
