Recipe Editing 101: Private Course
I'm so excited that you're thinking about registering for a private Recipe Editing 101 session. Before you proceed, please review the following information:
Recipe Editing 101 is an instructor-led live online course. Times and dates will be agreed upon by the instructor and student. If you have a specific day/time you need to schedule the courses for, please inquire before booking to make sure the instructor is available and able to teach at your preferred time. The course may be condensed down to as little as 3 weeks (2 classes per week) or spread out over a longer period, if a student would not like to use the 6-week format.
All classes start promptly at the designated time (the room will open 15 minutes prior to the start of class so you can log in and check your device/equipment to make sure everything is working before the start of each session).
If a student needs to reschedule a session, the student should contact the instructor at least 7 days before the session.
Now, on to the fun stuff! Over 6 weeks, we will be learning how to edit recipes, from spotting ingredients that don't exist (yes, that happens!) to fixing cook times that are off. I'm excited to share what I know.
Prerequisites: A general understanding of editing and proofreading concepts is necessary for this course or, for recipe makers and cookbook authors, a general understanding of recipe writing and development is necessary. If you are an editor, you do not need an editing certificate or certification to enroll in this class, but a working understanding of style guides, editing norms, and terminology would be helpful as we will not be going over general editing/copyediting/proofreading principles. If you are a recipe creator looking to self-edit your recipes, an understanding of editing principles is not necessary.
Knowledge of Track Changes in Word or an ability to quickly pick it up without instructor assistance is REQUIRED.
Technology Requirements: This course will meet via Zoom, Teams, FaceTime, or Google Meet and will contain visual elements. Participants who require accommodations can use the contact form below to send an accommodation request at least 14 days prior to the start of the class.
Refund Policy: All sales are final. If you are not satisfied, please reach out to the instructor promptly to discuss your concerns.
Recording Policy: These courses are not recorded. No part of any presentation may be recorded, screenshotted, photographed, or reproduced. The instructor retains all rights to all material presented.
Don't Be A Jerk Policy: Any students not treating other students professionally and with respect will be first warned and then removed from the course. This is a professional learning environment and everyone deserves an opportunity to learn without fear of criticism from others.
This Class Is For You: If you are a working or trained copyeditor, proofreader, or developmental editor looking to break into recipe editing or if you are a recipe writer/cookbook author wanting to break into recipe editing.
This Class Is NOT For You: This class is not meant for individuals looking to learn how to write recipes, take photos of recipes, write cookbooks, or otherwise write, photograph, or style cookbooks and recipes. We will not go over photography, recipe development, or food styling.
Lastly: Please note, the instructor does not share her client list/contacts, including publisher/editor contact information with students. Students must find their own work in the industry (a great way is to send your resume to publishers and ask if you can join their freelance lists or to reach out directly to companies and clients you want to work with). Note that my work is freelance and while I find an abundance of work and am booked, it may take you some time to build up a client roster. Full-time staff work is limited, but a few spots open up every year (at places like Ninja, Traeger, Marley Spoon, and even publishers).
Coupons: No coupons are available for one-on-one sessions and courses.
