The Board of Trustees and Management of the Society of Book and Magazine Editors of Nigeria (SBMEN) is proud to announce its forthcoming proofreading workshop themed: Elementary Proofreading. A two-day virtual training scheduled to be held from 24 to 25 May 2024.
The training will help participants gain skills on how to determine the scope and expectations for a proofreading project and learn how to read and scrutinise content to find errors and mark them for correction. This course will introduce to them a structured proofreading process to help them succeed.
According to the Executive Director Anwuli Ojogwu, “A good proofreader needs to have an eye for details, and, with more demand for people with these skills in media and technology, it is important to equip them with the skills to have a successful career.”
