Publishing Training Centre: Digital Proofreading
23/11/2017 in 0
The need for content to be accurate and consistent remains a top priority for publishers. At the same time, e-books and digital publishing projects may include elements such as PDFs and web pages. Even publishing projects that will ultimately be delivered in a printed format can involve digital stages.
As a result, in-house and freelance editorial staff are increasingly required to add on-screen proofreading to their armoury of skills. This digital proofreading course allows delegates to do just that.
Every student will have sole use of a computer, pre-loaded with all the essential software.
Everyone responsible for the editorial consistency and accuracy of web-based projects and e-books or of digital elements such as PDFs, CDs, DVDs and PowerPoint presentations will benefit from this course. The course is particularly suited to those making the transition from print to digital.
