Efficient editing and accurate proofreading ensure copy achieves the desired communication impact while protecting brand reputation. Grammar, spelling and punctuation are critical to success, yet under the pressure to turn work around at speed, mistakes can easily go unnoticed until they are published. This is especially true for those reviewing the work of others or self-editing as deadlines close in.
This practical workshop covers the fundamental principles of proofreading and copy editing that make writing readable, persuasive and effective. It also reflects how editing is changing, with AI tools now playing an important role in supporting speed and accuracy. Delegates will learn how to identify and prevent common errors, improve their editing process and combine traditional proofreading skills with AI-assisted techniques.
