[Editors] FW: Improve your editing without breaking your budget

[Amanda Berlin]

Hi Everyone, 

 

I wanted to ask about this at Tuesday’s editors meeting but unfortunately I
couldn’t make it. Is anyone familiar with this program (see below), or is
anyone interested in signing up? I would love to improve my copyediting
skills and thought this might be good—although I don’t know anything about
the quality of the group putting it on. 

 

OR do you have any other suggestions for copyediting classes?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Amanda

Introducing the newest training opportunity from Copyediting: a half-day
webinar that’s just one price per log-in site, no matter how many people
attend. 

In this practical Web-based seminar, learn to shape a writer’s copy to
remove biased or loaded language, clichés, jargon, and bureaucratese without
taking the life out of it or making people sound as if they aren’t
knowledgeable members of their own profession.

What Will I Learn?


 

In the first three sessions of the webinar, you will learn principles to
follow from plenty of before-and-after examples. The final session will
address the question of how to edit tactfully, and will offer strategies for
coaching writers and establishing protocols where you work so that the copy
you edit will (one hopes!) need less work in these areas.

agenda. 


How Does It Work? 


 

All you need is an Internet connection and a speakerphone! The webinar
comprises four consecutive 45-minute sessions with 15-minute breaks between
them, for a total of four hours. Each session will involve approximately 30
minutes of presentation and 15 minutes of discussion.
