Advanced Editorial Workshop: Substantive Editing

X425 (2 semester units in Journalism)

A requirement in the Professional Sequence in Editing

Develop your skills in applying the principles of effective writing to the editing of nonfiction book manuscripts. You examine two phases of substantive editing: line editing and developmental editing and learn the art of proposing editorial changes other than those required to correct errors or to achieve a consistent editorial style. You learn how to edit for clarity and concision, how to identify problems of cohesion and coherence (logical flow), and how to refine and invigorate an author’s style.Classroom enrollment is limited.

Prerequisites: Editorial Workshop II: Intermediate Copyediting X415.
