What will you cover in the editing part? -----Original Message----- From: accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Subramani L Sent: Friday, May 21, 2010 9:00 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] Seeking techniques for proof reading text
Folks FYI: I am working with Pratheek to set up a live webcast of the session which can be heard by everyone. Questions and clarifications can be sought by chat mode. Pratheek is setting up a server for this and all the software operation needed for the webcast happens from my end. Listeners have to open the site and let the audio stream come through. Hope this arrangement is fine with all of you. As I said, I shall share with you all some documents which we may work on. I shall deal with the following topics: 1. Proof reading 2. Editing and rewriting 3. content and style 4. Descriptive and informative writing 5. Report and narratives Hope this too is ok.
