LEADING THE FIELD IN PUBLISHING TRAINING

 

The UK’s leading editorial training organisation for the freelance market (Book People)

 

Chapterhouse was founded in 1991 by Course Directors Daisy Crowther and Richard Littler, who continue to teach regularly today. The Proofreading and Editorial Skills course was the first editorial correspondence course in the world.

 

Richard and Daisy both have first-class publishing pedigrees: Richard was Executive Director of Lloyd’s of London Press, and Daisy was Promotion Manager at Butterworths. Both have extensive freelance experience in book publishing and for major institutions, charities and government departments.

 

Because Chapterhouse has a reputation for integrity and high standards, its certificates are "recognised by the industry" (Daily Express). Our Certificate of Competence is a recommendation from us confirming that we believe you are able to work professionally in publishing. There is no official body which validates proofreading and editing qualifications, and there is no official national body which awards you "letters after your name". That's why our certificates are so valuable.

 

Our reputation as "an internationally renowned publishing training body" (Writers’ Forum) rests upon Chapterhouse’s most important foundation: the experience, track-record and ability of our tutors and the quality of our courses.
