"Editing checklists give you a sense of completion and peace of mind." —Kelly Schrank, instructor

Important Information About Our Real-Time Webinars

All webinar times are in Eastern Time. For more information on how EFA webinars are conducted, please see this page.

Our greatest fear as editors is to miss something: a typo, wrong formatting, factual errors, awkward language. Learn how using a checklist for common editing tasks can help you speed up your editing, catch the usual errors, and stop second-guessing yourself! Checklists are especially helpful for those who get interrupted often or have requirements that are constantly in flux. As an added bonus, when multiple people work on a piece, checklists can be used to ensure consistent approaches and reduce duplicated effort, giving both authors and editors a better experience.

This one-hour webinar will show how using a comprehensive checklist created and updated for a specific editing task can help you differentiate workflows, systems, and activities; spell out style and formatting details; track your progress; and document metrics. If you already use editing checklists, this session will help you take them to the next level. If you don’t, this session will provide the knowledge and motivation you need to get started.
