Edit discriminatory dialogue with sense and sensibility

Hone your dialogue-editing skills
​

This self-paced short course teaches editors about six adaptable tools that can be used when line editing dialogue containing slurs.

Sense and sensibility are at the heart of the teaching. You’ll learn how to offer solutions based on sound editorial judgement, and that respect character voice and dialogue flow, and all with reader engagement placed firmly front and centre.
