Instructor BioGary North's Courses Copy Editing Essentials Los Angeles (Seminar on January 12)
Intro to Copy Editing Los Angeles (Class starts January 26) ![]() Testimonials I feel lucky to have taken this course. I learned a lot about the craft of editing, and by the time the class was over, I was better at it. I think I'm a stronger editor now and I look forward to applying all the things I learned in this class in the near future. -- Tim Crowley"Gary was an exceptional instructor. In addition to being insightful and passionate about the field, he was always courteous to everyone in class. I was especially impressed with the efforts he made to email us supplemental material, and his willingness to help his students outside of the course." -- Andrew Wisot "The class had valuable information that I hadn't been able to acquire elsewhere. All the handouts were relevant and useful, and they included an extensive list of online resources for employable copyeditors that I'll start using immediately. Gary did a wonderful job!" -- Lynette M. Smith "Gary was very knowledgeable, articulate, easy to follow, and perhaps most importantly of all, he really respected the craft and communicated the importance of doing the job well." -- Odin Ozdil "Gary went that extra mile to make sure we all got what we needed from the class. He offered to help each of us in the future and I fully plan to take him up on that." -- Gail Wichert "Gary was fantastic. He asked each of us about our goals as it pertained to the class, and if he sensed an interest in a particular topic, he delved into further detail. He handled questions and class participation with agility and patience." -- Christine Podbielski "Gary is a wonderful teacher, and his instruction helped me to refocus my work habits and provided an excellent reminder that copy editing can be fun." -- Joyce Pennell "I learned so many valuable skills that I will carry with me throughout my career. Gary's enthusiasm for copy editing and kind demeanor made every class a pleasure." -- Angela Salazar |
