Karin is an attentive, encouraging, and skilled teacher. I enjoy her courses. What I liked most about this course was the safety of stretching myself in a practice environment. The class was as expected, according to the description, but I didn’t expect to feel so much more confident by the end!

Karin was responsive and very helpful. Her comments on my comments were exactly what I needed to know about my editing. Her comments and answers to the other students were also helpful and I learned from those as well. The best thing about this class is its simplicity. It focuses on one thing and goes deeply into that subject. To add content would be too much to take in. It was well worth the cost of tuition! Karin’s weekly comments and sharing of editing information was priceless. I’ve copied it all down and refer to it while I’m working on a manuscript. Karin is an excellent teacher and explains things well. She was encouraging and made me want to do better. I enjoyed this class very much.

I took this course to hone my skills for my job [at a publishing house]. I found the personal feedback from assignments the most helpful. I’ve already recommended this course to other editors.

The instructor was always available for questions that came up along the way. I was mainly looking for feedback on my edits, and that’s exactly what the course covered—the instructor’s great feedback on our own edits!

The feedback from the instructor was very helpful. I liked that I was able to be myself, and the instructor did not compare me to others. She graded me on my personal editing style and skills.
