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

Are you starting or considering a career in editing? Do you find yourself editing your colleagues’ work or your own writing as part of your job but you lack formal training? This two-day seminar will help you move beyond the “it looks funny” stage by giving you a solid introductory knowledge base and plenty of hands-on practice.

Topics covered include principles and techniques of copy editing (on both paper and screen); common stumbling blocks in grammar and punctuation; the use of style sheets and style guides; basic principles of capitalization, hyphenation, and number use; the elusive concept of Canadian spelling; and recommended resources for editors.

Instructor: Kathryn Dean has edited and project-managed a wide variety of trade, educational, and corporate publications, including books by Pierre Trudeau, Mary Lou Finlay, Robert Bateman, Ron Wright and Mordecai Richler. She teaches the online version of Ryerson University’s copy editing course.
