Editing Skills for Academics was developed by a team of Capstone Editing’s specialist academic editors, including Dr Lisa Lines, AE (Founder), Dr Nelson Mok, AE (Head Editor and Program Coordinator) and Ms Amanda Webster, AE (Assistant Program Coordinator).
The course was developed in 2019 for Capstone Editing’s VIP clients to assist them in improving their own writing and editing skills, making it easier for them to succeed in the challenging profession of academia.
The academics and postgraduates who completed this course found it so valuable that we’ve decided to make it as widely available as possible as an act of service to the academic community.
