Finding the way
If the English language were a road, there wouldn’t just be potholes
everywhere, but a random assortment of bumps, sharp turns, broken glass
and poorly marked exits. Naturally, this makes navigating a correct
route extremely difficult – especially in a business context.
But the good news? You can learn the best way to negotiate that road, with our one-day Editing Essentials seminar. Here, you’ll be taught the rules and standard conventions for maintaining great flowing text and superb style every time.
And time is definitely one of your biggest benefits. Namely, you’ll have more of it as you fly through editing in record speed!
In one day, you'll learn:
- A step-by-step guide to successful structure and style.
- 'Big picture' editing – what it is and when to do it.
- Style Guides – what they are, and how to create your own.
- Rules for common speed bumps like hyphens, quote marks, parentheses (always tricky), lists and more.
- Editing numerical information.
- Common formatting issues and proofreading symbols.
- Plus much more!
Mind your business

Eliminate guesswork – and make your job easier
Editing doesn’t have to be hard. Imagine receiving a document that needs an overhaul. Let’s face it. Sometimes, the written communication you receive can be unwieldy, convoluted and even – in some cases – nonsensical.
When you learn the right skills, you can turn the most difficult document into a clear and concise piece of writing.
Often, people learn editing skills over time. This seminar fast tracks what you need to know so you can edit with confidence and clarity.
