Editing is my thing, and your seminar the other day has inspired me to believe that it is possible to make a living doing it! I’m so excited. Thank you for igniting the spark that I needed to pursue my dream job.

The benefit I received from taking the copyediting practicum far outweighed the cost. Having one-on-one and personalized feedback from a veteran of the profession was invaluable and affirmed that copyediting is not only something I can do, but do well, and that I made the right choice to go into this field. The assignments and exercises felt like work I would be doing in the “real world” and gave me a good peek into and practice for my future business222222222. ////8/* <— and my cat liked it too! 🙂 The Slack channel served as a tool for forming connections with my peers that will serve me well on this journey. Overall, it was a wonderful choice, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result!

Editorial Arts Academy’s copyediting practicum was informative and fun. I learned a lot from editing real manuscripts. There is no better way to discover the technical and stylistic issues you are likely to encounter during an edit than in an unedited manuscript. Susannah reviewed my work down to the level of commas and helped me fine-tune my queries to stay in their copyediting and line editing lanes. I finished the class with a stronger grasp on the overall process of book editing and practical experience from working on several types of trade books.
