Course Coverage

Basics

The first section in the Writing Editing Masterclass teaches you the 3 major types of editing called

Content Editing,

Copyediting and

Proofreading.

Content Editing - Step by Step

The above types of editing are frequently applied by journalists of leading newspapers and magazines.

After learning the basics, students will start learning how to apply these techniques while editing a blog post.

So the lectures in the next section dive into each of these types of editing to show how to do them practically.

For an easy followup, all edits are done with a 12 step editing process that covers all the necessary steps.

At the end of these 12 steps, students will see a draft copy of a blog post is edited to near perfection by making it well structured, lean and an easy to read the content.

To make the entire process hands-on, students will download the attached draft blog post and edit the same in parallel

along with me.

At the end of that lecture, they'll compare their editing with the lecturer's edits and learn new ways to edit a piece of content.

Content Editing Examples

Obviously, not all editing rules will come into play while editing a blog post.

So, to make all the editing rules familiar to the students, a section containing these editing rules with examples is included.

Also, an eBook that contains examples of wrong usage and the alternative right ones are included.

At the end of learning these rules, students will be thorough in handling any editing job in the English language.

The takeaway from the Course

Students will learn the techniques of editing an English content to near perfection.

They'll become familiar to all the rules of editing and when to apply those rules.

They will become experts in converting a dry, boring content with a lot of errors into an interesting, easy to read, lean and error-free content.
