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.
