Course Description

Proofreading and Fiction Writing Combined

Whether you intend to do proofreading on a professional basis or simply wish to improve your knowledge, this course will allow you to earn a valuable certification, based in part on assignments that you will be required to complete.

There are eight chapters in total, each containing instructional material as well as assignments.  You will also be assigned a tutor, who will provide remote assistance with any queries you may have regarding the course and who will correct the assignments you complete.

The course in Fiction Writing provides a comprehensive guide to the key skills and techniques of writing fiction successfully, and also studies a variety of styles and media. Combining these two courses offers a unique way to study both fact and fiction writing.
