Advanced Editorial Workshop

Develop your skills in applying the principles of effective writing to the editing of nonfiction manuscripts. Examine two phases of substantive editing—line editing and developmental editing—and learn the art of proposing editorial changes other than those required to correct errors or to achieve a consistent editorial style. Learn how to refine and invigorate an author's style. Try out different methods of electronic editing, practice working with graphic elements, and examine comparisons between fiction and nonfiction editing. Enrollment is limited.
