Copyediting is owned and operated by Pilcrow Group, Inc., a company formed by two Copyediting staffers: Erin Brenner and Laura Poole.
Copyediting has two divisions: publishing and training.
At the core of our publishing division is the Copyediting newsletter. The newsletter was founded in 1990 by Mary Beth Protomastro, a copyeditor working at McCall’s magazine. For over 25 years, Copyediting (formerly called Copy Editor) has provided an in-depth exploration of the usage and evolution of the English language—from style guide updates to new terms—and what they mean for the gatekeepers of the printed word.
Copyediting Publishing also includes:
E
ditor’s Editions. Under our book imprint, we publish training manuals, reference works, and fun books for editors.
Copyediting blog. Publishing several times a week, Copyediting blog offers quick lessons and information.
Copyediting Weekly. Our weekly email is filled with tips and information, including our blog stories, a conference calendar, and job listings.
Our training division offers a variety of training formats in a wide range of topics and skill levels:
Master Classes. These live, single-session classes held online monthly. Recorded sessions are available for purchase and download.
In-Depth Courses. These multisession, interactive webinars go deep into a subject, such as inclusive language, or technology, such as editing on PDF. All sessions are recorded.
Mentoring groups and mastermind groups. We are pilot testing mentoring and mastermind programs with groups of like-minded editors that meet virtually.
Custom private training is available, and we plan to host live training events in the future.
