Copyediting

Do you have staff editors who bypassed traditional training as copyeditors? Writers who occasionally need to copyedit their own work? Office workers responsible for copyediting documents in a rush? Whatever your needs, we can introduce your staff to the tools and techniques of copyediting, from an overview of the basics to a targeted tune-up.

Available topics include

• Determining the role of the copyeditor
• Knowing what to look for: spelling, punctuation, grammar, usage, and more
• Learning to use a style manual
• Developing a style sheet
• Writing effective queries and communicating with others on a project

Depending on your needs, we can provide one-session overviews or multimeeting programs with time in between to practice. Handouts will provide tips and resources.
