Further Proofreading February 2027

Date: Tuesday 2 and Thursday 4 February 2026.
Time: 10:00 to 12:00 on each day

Publishing Scotland's regular tutor Denise Cowle will deliver this four-hour course on Zoom.

About the course

This course picks up where Introduction to Proofreading left off. It assumes that delegates have attended this course or are familiar with the methods and techniques it contains. The format is live and interactive, and providing a small-group environment where you can ask questions and get input on the more challenging and technical aspects of proofreading.

The course covers:

• checking a page proof for structure and layout
• dealing with widows, and with changes that could affect pagination
• collating the proof corrections of three other people and resolving their disagreements
• checking a revised proof to see that all the corrections have been made properly – and no new errors introduced!

CIEP upgrade training points
We are pleased to advise that the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) has confirmed this course is eligible for 2 CIEP upgrade training points.

Who should attend?
The course is suitable for those who have basic knowledge and/or some experience of proofreading.
