Course Description
In this second course of the "Writing for Planners" track we review approaches and tools to make editing routine and useful, even when you're on a deadline. We'll talk about how to edit a colleague's work, how to use an editor's notes, and the different types of edits.
At the end of this course, you will know how and when to edit. You'll also be able to set up a style sheet, apply it to a document, and refine your work to create a polished document.
