1. Proofreading and Editing
2. Creative Writing

1. ProofReading and Editing: Study Proofreading and Editing Online Course; Learn How to Proofread and Edit Copy Professionally

Our Proofreading and Editing Course teaches the process of checking a final draft of a piece of writing for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and formatting consistency and accuracy making it ready for publication. Techniques are shown in order to effectively perform roles, understand the importance of having a vast knowledge or information on language, and eventually be educated in setting up your own proofreading and copy-editing service business.

The course starts by explaining the similarities and connections of copy-editing and proofreading, and then detailing the functions of each of the processes. Learning the skills needed for these roles and where they are important in the editing process are also covered. Added are the differences between editors of magazines and newspapers with people who work in the book publishing industry.

With the various roles characterized, the course moves on to convey the fundamental skills; copy-editing tables and figures, editing captions and footnotes, and fact checking. The course discusses the importance of style guides, the difference between a style guide and a style sheet. Finally creating your own style sheet, providing different style manuals and a template to finally get you started.

Proofreading, done in long hours, can be tiring to the eyes and also has its toll in the mind. With these, mistakes can be missed because of fatigue. The course introduces practical ways to ensure effectiveness in the role of being a proofreader, which includes an exploration of standards in proofreading and an explanation of the term marking or marking up. The course provides two valuable resources to use in proofing: a list of basic BSI markups and a table of common homophones.

The course will help in the quick identification of common errors, examine major spelling mistakes and errors that appear regularly and reasons why words are spelled incorrectly. The ten most commonly broken spelling rules as well as the exceptions are also pondered. The course will then explain common grammatical mistakes, mistakes related to sentence structures - sentence fragments, misplaced articles, and dangling modifiers - together with problems with punctuation.

In addition to the basic information provided, the course will help in improving a final draft by using different sentence patterns. Considering word choice and spotting pleonasms and tautologies to improve fluency. The course also covers how nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs should be addressed when writing and editing.

The final proof is incredibly important. It is the last quality check before a draft is sent to the printers, along with the front and back covers should be correct. The course gives us an outline on how to manage the final proof and a list of the most important areas to be inspected before signing it off.
