Course Description
Course CoverageBasicsThe first section in the Writing Editing Masterclass teaches you the 3 major types of editing calledContent Editing,Copyediting andProofreading.
Content Editing - Step by StepThe above types of editing are frequently applied by journalists of leading newspapers and magazines.
After learning the basics, students will start learning how to apply these techniques while editing a blog post.
So the lectures in the next section dive into each of these types of editing to show how to do them practically.
For an easy followup, all edits are done with a 12 step editing process that covers all the necessary steps.
At the end of these 12 steps, students will see a draft copy of a blog post is edited to near perfection by making it well structured, lean and an easy to read the content.
To make the entire process hands-on, students will download the attached draft blog post and edit the same in parallelalong with me.
At the end of that lecture, they'll compare their editing with the lecturer's edits and learn new ways to edit a piece of content.
Content Editing ExamplesObviously, not all editing rules will come into play while editing a blog post.
So, to make all the editing rules familiar to the students, a section containing these editing rules with examples is included.
Also, an eBook that contains examples of wrong usage and the alternative right ones are included.
At the end of learning these rules, students will be thorough in handling any editing job in the English language.

Overall, the class was informative. However, I feel like some of the editing rules reflected British English more so than American English. American English is my wheelhouse.
I love the resources. Those are a nice and useful touch.

The quality dropped a few times during the lectures.

Very informative
By Naomi Kawakami on 11/8/2020
Some of the content is not consistent. Some of the lessons are based on rather arbitrary concepts. Finally, I found the exercises/activities very confusing, as they were not always directly or clearly related to the lessons.
