Webinar: Proofreading 101
I recently had the honour of presenting Proofreading 101 for the Editorial Freelancers Association, which is now available for purchase ($59 USD) in their Education Library.
In this hour-long webinar, I cover
the important distinctions between proofreading and copyediting,
why proofreading is (mostly) the last step in the editorial process,
common errors to look for in both the text and the design, and
when and how to use various types of markup (concentrating on PDF stamps and Adobe tools).
If you’ve ever wondered how to branch out into proofreading or make it the starting point of your editorial career, this session is for you!
Get your recording now, and learn a few more tips and tricks with my post What You Need to Know About Proofreading.
“I had the privilege of attending Jennifer’s Proofreading 101 presentation for the EFA and learned a lot. What truly set her presentation apart was her practical approach: she explained where proofreading falls in the publishing process, how it differs from copyediting, and also some of the most common grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors proofreaders encounter.
I can confidently say that this presentation improved my proofreading skills. It is fantastic whether you’re a seasoned professional looking to enhance your abilities or a newcomer wanting to learn the ropes. Jennifer’s expertise, engaging presentation style, and genuine passion make her the ideal guide. I wholeheartedly recommend her presentation to anyone interested in proofreading.”
