Description: Having the ability to effectively read through and amend your own writing before it is published is one of the most important skills that any writer can hold.
Aiming to provide all learners with the basics of ensuring that their writing is free of any errors and is as clean as it can be, this course leads learners through a variety of different topics, covering everything from identifying weak words and phrases to being aware of when a sentence or paragraph can be shortened to make for a better read.
Expected to take around 2 hours to complete, this free online course was created by Chip Scanlan, an associate professor at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism who has over 20 years worth of reporting and feature writing experience.
