Whether you’re an aspiring writer or editor, this introductory course will equip you with the basic tools to improve your own or others’ writing. Through practical exercises and class discussion, you’ll brush up on your grammar and punctuation, and learn how to use style sheets and proofreading marks. Although you’ll gain insight into the book publishing process, the techniques covered in the course can also be applied to other publications, such as corporate reports, media releases, newsletters, brochures and website copy.

Ian See is an editor at Scribe Publications, where he has worked since 2009. He is a graduate of RMIT’s Professional Writing and Editing program and has been involved with Sleepers Publishing, Overland and Meanjin.
