Dreaming of a career in editing or
publishing?
This course will give you the know-how to get started, by involving
you in the production of an online publication. You will learn from
experience what is required, and how to go about it. You will
develop your ability to edit both text and illustrations for
articles, and prepare layout for articles.
Course Content
This course takes you through the processes of editing for a
specific publication, submitting work for publication, and meeting
the requirements of an editor and publisher.
1. Working to Specifications
2. Editing Articles for Online Publications
3. Submitting Articles for Online Publications
4. Preparing and submitting Layout for publication
Under the guidance of a mentor (a writing/editing tutor), you will
learn to edit according to specific criteria, deal with a
publisher, and communicate effectively with others involved in the
publishing process.
This module gives you hands-on experience in copy editing an online
publication. You will work with a tutor (member of our academic
staff) who will oversee your role as copy editor for an online
publication.
Why is this such a valuable experience?
It is difficult to get a start in the publishing industry.
Publishers are usually swamped by people seeking employment, and
applicants may not even be considered unless they have already
worked in the publishing field. This means that many qualified
graduates never even get the opportunity to show a publisher what
they can do!
This module gives our students just what they need – experience
of copy editing. The course gives you the opportunity to work on a
real-life publication. With something to show publishers, you have
a much better chance of gaining employment in this field. On
graduation, you will have a body of work that shows your experience
in copy editing for online publications.
