LEADING THE FIELD IN PUBLISHING TRAINING

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. Today, Chapterhouse is acknowledged as ‘the UK’s leading editorial training organisation for the freelance market’ (Book People).

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.

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’.

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.
