One of the best things I have done for myself and my editing career is taking courses run by Susannah Noel at Editorial Arts Academy. Susannah is a wonderful instructor who truly wants her students to succeed and goes out of her way to make sure that happens. I found the lectures, exercises, and materials so helpful, and I gained the confidence to step out on my own as a freelance editor. I highly recommend Susannah and EAA to anyone who wants to become more skilled and self-assured in their editing abilities.

Following Freelance Book Editing 101’s tantalising taster of book editing, Susannah served a fabulous first course with Copyediting Fiction and Nonfiction Books: Principles & Mechanics. Susannah imparted her extensive knowledge of copyediting with enthusiasm and was supportive of our efforts. The course flowed smoothly with an effective mix of activities plus excellent resources and recommendations. I had fun learning a lot and the course whetted my appetite for more copyediting. 

Susannah and Nancy have been deeply helpful to me in every imaginable way as I begin my journey toward becoming a freelance developmental editor of YA novels: planting the seed of the idea that I might parlay my skills and love of reading into the role of book editor; supporting me at every step with information, resources, and priceless samples of their own editing expertise; and availability to answer any and every question that might arise. Their deep knowledge and passion and enthusiasm for sharing what they know has been a great gift.
