Master Class: Copyediting for Fun and Profit

Copyediting is tough. It takes years of professional practice just to become proficient. Whether you’re interested in learning to copyedit for yourself or for others, this intensive, hands-on master class will set you on the right path. How do you mark up a manuscript? Why are there so many style manuals, and which one is best for copyediting fiction? Is it better to copyedit on paper or on screen? What’s the difference between copyediting and proofreading? Is editing fiction different from editing nonfiction? How do you find clients, and what should you charge? Come find out!
