Sharpening Your Editing Skills

Admit it. You've grown sloppy. You let things pass that used to get you more angry. Both in your own writing and when editing others, you are no longer as sure of the rules as you used to be. You edit more on feeling than on certainty. Let veteran Professor Don Ranly lead you in a three-hour review with lively, inter-active exercises covering both micro- and macro-editing that will refresh and innervate you and your editing skills.

You will review:

• how to check your copy by covering the Seven C's
• three steps in cutting copy
• seven nearly infallible rules for using commas consistently
• the correct use of the tricky hyphen
• how never to misuse the pronoun
• why the subjunctive mood is not dead and should not die
• and much, much more
