Freelance Editing
Freelance editing is an interesting way to earn a living.
It's something I got into almost by accident, a long time ago.
I had always wanted to be an author, but after writing several books
that didn't make it into print, I realized that this was not my
future. This was heartbreaking at first, as I loved the writers'
world. I wanted to be involved with books, publishing, magazines and
anything else related to writing. And that's how I discovered
freelance editing.
The thing is, although I may not have the creative skills necessary
to write a great novel, I do have a good understanding of basic
writing skills. And this is exactly what you need if you are going
to build a career in freelance editing. You need to have a
flair for knowing how something should be written, spotting errors
in other people's work, and knowing how to put things right.
Of course, it's not all natural ability - there is a great deal of
craft to learn, too. But you must first of all have that ability to
edit and adjust words and sentences until they sound just right.
That's what the job of freelance editing is all about.
I work for may different publishers and companies, doing all kinds
of work. Sometimes I work on novels or other books, sometimes I edit
magazine articles or newspaper copy. There is plenty of scope in the
freelance editing world, and lots of interesting and
fascinating opportunities.
If you are considering a career in freelance editing, you
need to evaluate your existing skills, and get training in
specialist areas if necessary. Then it is just a matter of going out
and finding work. Here's a site that could put you on the right
