The EFA hosts online courses and events designed for freelance editors, writers, academics, and other professionals of the written word. Just a few examples of what we offer:

• Beginning, intermediate, and advanced courses on developmental editing and line editing of fiction
• Classes for copyeditors and proofreaders of fiction, academic work, and business materials
• Introductory webinars on a wide variety of editorial specialties, so you can explore career paths without breaking the bank
• Deep dives into niche topics such as poetry editing, the technical vocabulary of comics, and data table design
• Essential business education for entrepreneurs, whether you need beginner tips on finding clients or are ready to turn your solo shop into an agency
