The course covered a lot of ground, from manuscript evaluation to book design, and I appreciated the focus on practical skills like line editing and proofreading. One of the highlights was the peer review process, which gave me valuable feedback on my work and helped me identify areas for improvement. While some of the course materials felt a bit dated, the overall quality was good, and I enjoyed the casual, conversational tone of the video lectures. All in all, it was a worthwhile experience that helped me build a strong foundation in editing and publishing.
