Based on materials by Margaret Aherne, this is an introduction to the principles of copyediting and covers:
- copyediting within the publishing process
- structure
- style
- author queries
- checking facts
- illustrations, tables and figures
- language, grammar and vocabulary
- working like a copyeditor.
There are exercises to complete during the sessions and for homework. I provide a comprehensive delegate pack which includes a resource list to take you further in your learning, and I encourage delegates to stay in touch if they need further advice or information on copyediting.
