Description
Are you interested in copyediting? Is it like proofreading? What do copyeditors do? Well, if any of these questions have crossed your mind, this class is for you! Practically speaking, the job of the copyeditor is much more detailed and specialized than a proofreader. However, it helps to have a basic knowledge of proofreading, because all of those skills transfer to copyediting.
In fact, as companies continue to downsize, a copyeditor might also function as an all-in-one writer and proofreader. (Yes, we talk about this in the course.) We also tackle this burning question at the very beginning of the course: “Is it copyediting (one word) or copy editing (two words)?” Enroll in this introductory online copyediting course to find out!Because this class is informational, anyone with an interest in copyediting can easily engage with this course regardless of education, experience or professional background. Before spending resources pursuing copyediting for freelance or full-time employment opportunities, learn whether or not this skill and profession is a good fit for you. After working through the lessons, you will be presented with a mega copyediting test to assess your current proficiency with standard English grammar and usage.
By the end of this course, you will have a complete understanding of the duties, workflow and skill requirements for copyediting, and whether or not this is a viable career option for you.
