Description
$500 (Members: $450) | How to become a developmental editor | 8 lessons | With Instructor Feedback | Advanced
On-demand course schedule must be arranged with the instructor as soon as possible after enrollment.
You’ll perform a complete, actual edit of a full-length fiction manuscript. The instructor will provide a class manuscript for you to work on or you may use a manuscript of your own (for example, a client’s project or a friend’s work) instead. Please do just get the author’s permission to share the ms with the instructor.
Class assignments focus on reviewing the principles of developmental editing, making an editorial plan, and providing an appropriate edit. But the main thrust of the work will be your editing an actual manuscript under the instructor’s guidance. The instructor will give feedback on your assignments throughout the class and will provide a full, thorough evaluation of your edit (including your revision letter) after the class concludes.
This class is intended for those with some developmental editing experience or who have taken the Beginning + Intermediate DE for Fiction classes or the self-paced DE 1 through 6 classes.
The class is entirely online and asynchronous (you don’t have to be in any particular place at any particular time to participate) but assignments are due by specific deadlines.
