Learn From the Best

Developing specialized skills sets you apart and give you a competitive advantage in today’s evolving job market. In our Working with Authors Standalone Editing course, you’ll gain practical strategies for building relationships with authors, managing editorial projects, and attracting and retaining clients.

Offered independently of the full Editing certificate program, our Standalone Editing courses are designed to deepen your expertise. You can enroll in them at any time. While they complement the core and elective courses in the Editing Certificate program, they also offer focused training that stands on its own.

Working with Authors is ideal for a wide range of professionals—freelancers and in-house editors, aspiring editors launching their careers, and those in related fields such as academia, grant writing, and cultural organizations seeking to expand into freelance work.
