Do misused words annoy you? Does it irritate you when you see an apostrophe in the wrong place? Do you want to know how to spot a false parallel or a dangling participle? Maybe you’re an editor at heart! This class will take you through the basics of sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, usage, and spelling, with journalism and other types of narrative writing in mind. Then we’ll look at more advanced techniques of editing stories to improve clarity, impact, and potential appeal to readers. Some experience with writing and familiarity with grammar will be helpful.
