Udemy – The Art of Deep Editing: Content, Style & Structure

Learn deep editing and become a masterful copy editorAre you curious about how to bring more of a writer’s flair and creativity to editing so you’re not just checking for errors all the time?Then you’re in the right place.In this course you will learn how to do a deep edit that goes way beyond the usual grammar, spelling and punctuation checks. That means exploring the mastery levels of style, expression, structure and content.You see, most editors focus on ordinary copy editing and proofreading, which is all about correcting errors, following rules and getting extremely nit-picky about the placement of commas. It’s a necessary task, but it’s not exactly the most fun or creative work. Where it really gets interesting is when you can go beyond error-correction and become part of the creative process of shaping and developing a text. This is what we call substantive or deep editing – and it’s exactly what I’m going to show you on this course.Contents and overviewWe’re going to treat the substantive edit as a three-step process:First, we’ll look at how to do a content edit to make sure the reader will understand the text. You’ll see how you can edit for content in any subject, even those you know very little about.Next, I’ll walk you through how to do a structural edit, where we reorganize the content to enhance its logical flow and coherence.And finally, we’ll do a stylistic edit where we optimize the language, tone and readability of the text.I’ll explain both the theory and practice of each step, with exercises and onscreen demonstrations showing you how to perform each type of edit in Microsoft Word.By the end of this course, you’ll be able to do a substantive edit on any document from short articles to company reports and even full-length novels and books.Is this course right for you?This course is ideal for you if
