Copy Editing Study Materials

Copy Editing Manual is a time-saving guide for the UIL Journalism contest by Rhonda Moore, which summarizes rules for courtesy titles, capitalization, when to spell out numbers, how to write more concisely, and more! This contains practice prompts/samples, answer keys, and an appendix of copy editing symbols! Copy Editing for Journalism was officially adopted by UIL in 2018-19 and is no longer a pilot contest!
