Course objectives
The course is designed to introduce students to the editorial process, its individual stages and the role of the editor in it when preparing different types of texts. Due to the specialisation of the participants, special attention will be paid to the editing of translation works. In addition, students will also be introduced to the functioning of the book market and book publishing will be outlined in a historical perspective, including current trends related to new technologies.
Learning outcomes
During the course, the student will gain an overview of the basic aspects of editorial work, learn practical skills in proofreading or creating accompanying texts. As a future translator, he or she will be able to take a more comprehensive view of the translated text and his or her role in the book publishing process.
