Course Description

Are you curious about how you could use AI in your editing work without uploading client text?

Join us for this practical webinar on using AI tools in your workflow while maintaining editorial judgment and integrity. We’ll look at ways you can use AI without uploading client material. Discussion topics will include drafting or revising editorial comments, explaining grammar and style rules, and creating Word macros.

We’ll then turn to reference formatting—the exception to the no-upload rule—including how to handle this task ethically. You’ll see how AI tools can quickly and accurately format reference lists.

You’ll leave with concrete examples and prompts you can adapt for your own editorial workflow.
