Workshop: the Professional Figure of the Editorial Editor

The laboratory aims to raise awareness of the most important professional figure in the publishing chain who acts directly on the text: the editorial editor.
The laboratory aims to clarify the main characteristics of the editorial writer: his mindset in relation to the text he works on, his working method, his knowledge and the tools he uses to carry it out.
The reflection on this professional figure also has the function of training the new generations of editorial editors, so that, entering their profession aware of the key role in the editorial chain and the responsibility of their task, they carry out their work with an approach to the text and to the book as scientific as possible, with the idea of textual quality, methodological, critical and historical rigor.

The laboratory proposes a methodology and mentality aimed at providing the student with the possibility of improving the understanding, re-elaboration and formal and content correction of a written Italian text, with the aim of creating a correct text, structured in a logical, coherent and therefore understandable.
