Description
Translators edit and proofread every day. Becoming more effective in these areas obviously improves quality – it often improves the bottom line too, as confidence and effective processes mean you complete work faster and make it less likely that we submit poor work if we are having a bad day. We should all ensure quality for every job. Karen will provide expert instruction and feedback on skills that she built up, applied and practiced for years. You will receive many concrete tips that you can use straight away in your translation and editing work, and example templates that you can use to get a head start on developing your own process.



Upon successful completion of this course, you will




✓ be aware of the long-standing methods excellent editors and proofreaders use to ensure quality every time

✓ know how to apply various modern proofreading and editing tools

✓ have tested your understanding and skills in self-paced quizzes and assignments with feedback

✓ have learned how to adequately price your services and negotiate your worth

✓ have identified your strengths and weaknesses in this area, and pinpointed how to improve the weaknesses
