Proofreading Today
This distance learning course is designed to help anyone who is interested in a career as a freelance or full-time proofreader.
It has a number of unique features that will give students a big head start, not least of which is the attention it gives to dealing with electronic files.
It is the only course of its kind to make use of the recently launched Paperlessproofs software and those who complete the course will come away with the cutting-edge skills that more and more employers are demanding.
Students also get guidance on the business of working as a proofreader.
The course's author has worked as a proofreader and editor for many years and also has a good deal of experience of hiring editorial freelancers. He is therefore uniquely placed to give students an insight into what really works.
The introductory module of Proofreading Today can be downloaded free of charge from www.edittrain.co.uk.
