Build The Editorial Life You Want

“It's given me the freedom to work when and where I want. It provided me with the confidence to leave my full-time job and start my own business. I've been successfully self-employed for over a year and love every day of it! I'm so grateful to Edit Republic for helping me start down this path.”

“It has allowed me to lead a life truer to my personality and to myself. I can work from home and keep my priorities in order. It has been a blessing in my life. When I first started my business, I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to find clients. I am proud to have made connections and have a steady stream of clients.”

“It's allowed me to take the step to quit my job and start my own editorial business. It gave me the confidence to feel like I am truly an editor who's good at her job. It has completely changed my life to a place where I have more freedom and can work with other authors while reading interesting ideas and stories.”

Personal Guidance,

Hi, I’m Phon Baillie, creator of Edit Republic. For the last 20 years I’ve been working as a proofreader and editor while also teaching people how to turn their love of language into real editorial businesses with no degree or prior experience required.

At Edit Republic, you get more than course lessons. You get direct access to me through our student community and group coaching sessions, the same hands-on guidance that has helped thousands of proofreaders and editors build careers they’re proud of.
