| Hi
there,
We always have a waiting list for our copy editing courses, so I'm happy
to give you the inside scoop that there are a few spots left in the
copy editing class starting this week taught by Rebecca Smith Hurd,
former assistant managing editor of Wired and self-proclaimed word
nerd. Better move on this one quickly. Click
here for details.
Also, our last seminar with Lonely Planet editor Jay Cooke sold out,
so if you're interested in his advanced travel writing workshop
on March 2, reserve
your spot now.
Drop me a line and let me know how your work is going. I love to hear
student success stories!
Warmly, Carmen
