Identify your strengths and gaps, learn to work to industry standards, and gain advanced knowledge and practice in structural and developmental editing with the support of an expert structural editor.

As part of the Professional Editing Standards Certificate program, this course explores what is expected of editors who perform structural/substantive editing. Course topics include additions, deletions, reordering and recasting, working with supplemental textual and visual elements, permissions, working with authors, and structural/substantive editing of fiction and non-fiction.

The Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) recognises Queen’s University Canada’s courses as quality training that will count towards CIEP membership upgrade.
