What will I learn?
You will learn how to evaluate manuscripts at every level, covering structure, argument, prose style, grammar, and typeset quality. The course walks you through developmental editing, line editing, copy-editing, and proofreading as distinct professional disciplines with their own standards and tools. You will practise writing editorial letters, managing revision rounds, and communicating feedback to authors clearly and professionally. Specialised topics include sensitivity and inclusive editing, genre-specific techniques, digital editorial tools, and the legal basics every editor needs to know. You will also build the business and career skills required to work as a freelance editor or pursue a staff position in publishing.
