Hi all,

I had already posted a thanks to Michelle for the Demand Studios reference, but as I was reading back through the posts I noticed that you, Tami, said something about whether you need a degree. I have actually been looking into some of the programs offered out there since I am very interested in the copyediting.

I found a a course called Proofreading and Copyediting 101, with universalclass.com, that offers a basic course for $39 or $64 if you want to receive a certificate and CEUs. ed2go.com also has a 6-week course called The Keys to Effective Editing for $139.

Even though I feel I have the skills for the proofreading already, both of them include a grammar refresher, etc. I haven't chosen which program I will be enrolling in yet, but I thought that readers of this post might be interested in the information if they are looking into copyediting.
