I signed up for the Editing and Publishing course hoping to brush up on my skills, and it definitely delivered. The content was practical – I learned how to set up a style guide in Word and how to optimise articles for SEO, which I immediately applied to my blog. The case studies from real publishing houses made the theory feel relevant, and the downloadable templates were a nice bonus. The only thing I’d tweak is a bit more depth on audio‑book formatting, but overall I’m happy with what I got and would recommend it to anyone looking to sharpen their editorial toolkit.

The Editing and Publishing course at Stanmore School of Business was exactly what I needed to reach my career goals. The modules on copyediting techniques and digital layout design gave me the confidence to overhaul our company's quarterly newsletter. I especially appreciated the hands‑on assignment where we used Adobe InDesign to produce a print‑ready brochure; the step‑by‑step video tutorials were clear and professionally produced. The reading list was up‑to‑date, covering both traditional publishing standards and modern e‑book platforms. Overall, the learning experience was seamless, and I feel fully equipped to lead our editorial team.

Wow! This course blew me away! The Editing and Publishing program at Stanmore School of Business turned my vague interest in publishing into solid, market‑ready skills. I loved the live workshop where we edited a short story and then turned it into an e‑book using Kindle Direct Publishing – I actually published my first e‑book within a week of finishing the class! The course materials were vibrant, with interactive quizzes and real‑world examples that kept me engaged. I now feel confident pitching manuscript proposals and handling the entire editing workflow. Absolutely thrilled with the experience!

The Editing and Publishing course offered a thorough and detailed exploration of the publishing process. I was particularly impressed by the module on metadata management, which taught me how to embed ISBN information correctly—a skill I applied when digitising our university press catalog. The instructor’s feedback on my final project, a complete print‑ready journal issue, was insightful and helped me refine my layout techniques. The course materials, including the extensive PDF handbook and sample contracts, were highly relevant and up‑to‑date. While the pacing was brisk, the overall experience met my expectations and equipped me with valuable, actionable knowledge.
