Speaking
"Developing an Efficient Editing Process" presents a series of steps leading to a more efficient editorial process. Rules of grammar or punctuation are not the focus; rather, participants will learn to follow a series of steps to ensure effective, efficient editing. The session is intended for non-editors who are responsible for ensuring that documents produced where they work are clearly written and error-free. (Slides)
