EDITING

 

When I first started as a freelance editor, I trained with Publishing Scotland and took the Proofreading course, as well as the two-part Copyediting Suite.

Later when I joined the CIEP in 2021 I took professional courses such as: Core Proofreading Suite (Introduction, Headway, Progress), the two-part Copyediting Suite, Plain English for Editors, Word for Practical Editing, Non-Fiction Developmental Editing, Proofreading Theses and Dissertations, Efficient Editing: Strategies and Tactics.​

 

Furthermore, I took courses with other providers:

Denise Cowle's - How to mark Up PDF Page Proofs and 

Cadman Training's Introduction to PerfectIT 4, 5, and PerfectIT cloud.
