Meet Phon!
Hi, my fellow bookworms and word nerds. I’m Phon Baillie, the creator of Edit Republic.
For the last 20 years, I’ve been proofreading, editing, and teaching people around the globe how to turn their love for language into a successful editorial career.
If you’ve been wondering whether working with words is possible, I’m here to show you it is. (No degree or fancy school required.)
Like you, I started my editorial business without any connections or prior experience — just a deep love for reading and a desire to learn. And now? I run the business of my dreams and help people figure out how they can do the same thing!
At Edit Republic, I teach REAL industry skills to prep you like a pro and offer on-going support and guidance inside our student community.
I can’t wait to help you build your editorial business the easy way.
See you in class!
What's the word?
We’ve taught thousands of students all over the world how to become working proofreaders and editors. Here’s what they say about our programs:
“High-Level Proofreading Pro gave me the confidence to start my editorial business. I love being my own boss and setting my own hours. Working with authors has been such a rich experience. I get to read for a living!”

“Completing High-Level Proofreading Pro gave me the confidence to market my services as a copyeditor and proofreader. I enjoyed the entire course as it was in-depth and easy to follow. Starting my own editorial business has made it possible for me to work from home, doing something that I enjoy.”
Lola AyangbayiUnited Kingdom 
“I really enjoyed the tone and pace of Phon's courses, and I really appreciated all the bonuses and practice exercises. HLPP is probably the most comprehensive training out there for wannabe proofreaders and copy editors. I've unleashed creative powers I never knew I had inside me. "
