How to be a tactful editor and proofreader (Awards)

Welcome to another award winner's episode.

In these episodes, I'm talking to winners from the Clever Copywriting School Awards of 2022.

I'll be asking:

What do they think made them stand out to win the awards?

What advice and tips can they offer you?

What are the challenges they've faced?

And common mistakes they see their peers making.

Today we're chatting with our proofreading winner and our editing winner.

I hope you enjoy it.
