Description

If you're looking for a job and you like working with words, I'm teaching an online class in medical editing over six Sundays in October and November (October 9, 16, 23, 30; November 6, 13), from 2 to 5 pm ET each day. I've been a freelance medical editor for over ten years. It's been flexible, high-paying, and has supported my dance career and my family. I began this class as a favor to friends, and my students' success has kept me teaching. If you're a meticulous reader and a clear, able writer, you'll do wonderfully. Editing experience or a background in medicine is a plus but not essential. In this four-day class, you'll master medical style, edit plenty of copy, learn digital editing and fact-checking, and also receive individual feedback on edits, markups, and resumes. And afterward, I'll give you a clear roadmap to getting your first gig. The class costs $450 and will be capped at 12 people. Many students find work as freelancers or staff editors, and my class is recommended by editorial directors at several medical ad agencies as well as by Metroproof, a major temp employer of editors in NYC.
