COPY-EDITING: Adding value to your communications 25.4.2018


This presentation will focus on the most important considerations in copy-edit work in English so you can add value to your communications. The session will be split into two parts:

PART I: Basic principles

This part will focus on the basic principles and questions concerning copy-editing and will include discussion of the following points:

  • What is copy editing and how is it different from other types of language review?
  • When should you consider editing your text? Is it fit for the purpose?
  • Preliminary questions: What is the text type? Who is your target audience? What channel(s) are you using?
  • Copy-edit checklist: What are some of the most important editing techniques you can use to add value to your communications?

PART II: Putting it into practice

This part will focus on more practical applications of the points discussed in Part I.

  • The trainer will provide some standard examples to illustrate copy-editing in practice.
  • Participants are encouraged to provide their own material for discussion. This can be submitted in advance.

At the end of the session, you will have a clearer understanding of what copy-editing is, when you should consider editing, and what editing techniques you can use.

The session will be held in English and it includes a tasty breakfast.
