Copy editors begin the editing process by fixing any grammatical, punctuation and spelling errors and proofreading is the final stage of the editing process. When a writer comes up with the idea, does the research and gets the words down, and then the proofreader or copy editor come in to make sure that every sentence reads well and makes perfect sense to the audience.
This Proofreading and Copy Editing Skills Training course looks at the essential information on proofreading and copyediting. By taking this course, you’ll learn how to make improvements to sentence structure and copy flow, checking for repetition and inconsistencies. Additionally, explore tips and techniques to make your proofreading sessions more effective and strategies for checking, and plenty of ways to fine-tune your proofreading skills.
