Registration Information | Registration Form | Seminar Locations | Seminar for Editors

Scholarly editing is a specialized and surprisingly large area of publishing. Academic books and journals have a distinct mandate and are written mainly by university professors and researchers. This seminar assumes that you know the basics of editing and focuses on what makes scholarly editing different, from the text to the apparatus of appendices, notes, bibliographies, tables, and illustrations. It outlines the scholarly publishing system and the editor’s role in it, what university presses look for from editors, how to edit scholarly publications, and how to work successfully with academic authors.

Instructor: Camilla Blakeley has been an editor in scholarly and educational publishing for 20 years, both freelance and inhouse. She managed editorial projects in the Toronto office of UBC Press for over a decade and is a winner of the Tom Fairley Award for Editorial Excellence. She is now a partner in Blakeley Words and Pictures, an editorial/design business with a range of publishing clients.
