As publishing options expand beyond books, magazines, and newspapers into e-zines, web copy, blogs, and e-books, more people have the opportunity to write and publish than ever before.
With all this writing and publishing going on, the need for skilled freelance editors is growing.
That's one reason why my editing business is booming.
I’ve been a freelance editor for 20 years. My clients range from university presses to self-publishers of homeschool curriculum like Jay Wile of Apologia Science to internet marketing gurus like copywriter David Garfinkel.
And as a single mom for nearly five years, I’ve learned a lot about balancing business with educating my four boys at home.
People frequently ask me two questions:
“How do you do it all by yourself?”
and
“How can I get started as an editor?”
My good friend Rhea Perry of Educating for Success has twisted my arm to share some of what I’ve learned.
I’ll be talking with Rhea on Tuesday night, March 28, at
Here are a few of the questions Rhea plans to throw at me:
How can you determine if you have a natural editorial instinct that makes learning everything else you need to know a piece of cake?
Which skills does an editor need?
Aren’t there different types of editing?
How do you juggle working at home and family responsibilities?
