About the Event
Learn From the Best
Having specialized skills helps you rise to the top of your profession and gives you a competitive edge in an evolving job landscape. In our Working with Authors Standalone Editing course you will learn strategies for building relationships with authors, managing editorial projects, and retaining and attracting clients.
Our Standalone Editing courses are offered outside our full Editing certificate program to enhance and specialize your skills in an evolving job market. You can take them at any time. They complement what you learn in our core and elective courses within the certificate program but can also stand on their own as focused coursework.
This specialized course was designed for a variety of editors and writers including those working in-house or as freelancers; aspiring editors looking to launch their careers; and those working in fields such as academia, grant writing, and cultural institutions pursuing freelance opportunities.
As the home of The Chicago Manual of Style, an authoritative resource in publishing, UChicago provides unique access to editors from the University of Chicago Press as program instructors. Join us to learn directly from industry experts and discover how the online Editing Certificate and Standalone course can help you excel in your publishing and copywriting career.
