There’s more to editing than catching typos—there’s structure in every sentence. This Copy Editing course invites you to see text with new eyes, covering everything from style sheets and proofreading methods to on-screen editing and common publishing snags. The tone is sharp, the rules matter, and the commas will be judged accordingly.

You'll also explore legal checks and the finer distinctions between proofreading and copy-editing. Whether you’re a perfectionist or just tired of squinting at dangling modifiers, this course will refine your approach to words—one clause at a time.
