What’s included?

• Knowing the difference between different levels of editing is vital for any editor. There are crucial differences between proofreading (checking for errors), copyediting and substantive (or structural) editing—and you’ll need to be intimately familiar with these to explain the different services you provide to your clients and ensure they understand the scope of your service as well as what is required for their specific document. This is absolutely essential so you can charge correctly and be paid fairly for your work. The last thing you want is to be performing a substantive edit while only being paid for a copyedit!
• This masterclass will teach you the key differences between the different levels of editing, including how to assess the level of editing required for a specific document or project, communicate with clients regarding their needs and then, importantly, adhere to the appropriate level of editing.
