This Course looks at the skills of writing and editing the English language, and will help you embark upon a career as a freelance editor and proofreader. Editing and proofreading is a field that caters to the home worker or complements the workplace employee who wishes to increase his or her skills.

Freelance editors and proofreaders today are more in demand than ever. As communication becomes faster and more complex, and as companies and organisations produce their own newsletters and other printed material, there is more and more demand for the objective eye of the editor and proofreader. The editor will work on improving overall structure, style and consistency while the proofreader will correct spelling, grammar and punctuation mistakes.

In the publishing industry, book companies use mainly freelance editors and proofreaders to check the thousands of fiction and non-fiction manuscripts published every year. Government departments and statutory organisations use freelance editors and proofreaders to check the mountains of paperwork and reports they collate and distribute. Scientists, doctors, lawyers, engineers are just some of the professionals seeking help before publishing papers in their journals. And there are also education institutions, commercial agencies and small to medium businesses who require the services of editors and proofreaders.

20 Years ago a person leaving school had a comprehension rate of 60,000 words. It is now believed that comprehension rate has dropped to an average of 12,000 words. More than ever there is a need for people who specialise in the craft of language. If you find yourself correcting other people's mistakes, if you love the art of good sentence structure, if you like to compose well-worded letters and documents, or if you simply relish the idea of becoming an editor and proofreader, working from home and having your own business ... you will love this Course!
