“My editorial business gave me freedom – to earn, create my own schedule, set big goals and plan for things I would never have been able to afford by waiting on the same paycheck every month. I work how I want to when I want to, and I do what I love every day. That is freedom.”
Nadia Willie
Founder, The Scrutineer
“It feels like I got my life back. Working at my previous 9-5 job, I was tired all the time, so that even when I had free time, I didn’t have the energy to do fun stuff for myself. Now, my job is fun, and I get to create my own hours so that I can enjoy doing more of what I love in my free time. My whole outlook on life has completely changed.”
Maria Chance
Founder, The Intuit Desk

Our students achieve remarkable results. It's your turn.
I had no idea how to turn my love for reading into a business. Phon has held my hand and given me the confidence every step of the way. I'm finally doing something that I love.
This editorial business has given me a fresh start in life. I left corporate America 18 years ago to become a full-time mom. This business has given me the ability to start over. And as my children are preparing to go off to college, I can share my success story with them."
Texas, USA
Digital Nomad
I only started it as a side hustle to make a bit more money, and I didn't mind doing it because I already enjoyed reading and writing. However, once I started, a new world opened up to me. I enjoyed helping people bring out their best stories so much more than any other job I had done. It was fun and interesting to read the different blogs, stories, research papers and articles I've done over the years and even more exhilarating to receive praise and compliments from my clients on the amazing job I had done.
I realized how rewarding just doing what I loved could be.
At first, I feared that clients wouldn't like how I edited their work and that I'd be called a fraud. However, I got great compliments on each project I did and up until today, have a few repeat clients who continually call on me when they need work edited. My editorial business has made me discover more about myself and what I want from my life. I no longer wish to work for others in an 8-hour job doing things I don't enjoy. Three or so years ago, I wasn't even thinking like this! I am so glad that I am doing this now. It has truly been a life-changer for me.
Grenada
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. I connected with Phon's approach to the material and with the way she made starting a freelance career accessible. Without the program, I would never have changed jobs and launched my own business."
California, USA
The course has been instrumental in allowing me to achieve my goals. It not only gave me the necessary knowledge, it also gave me the confidence to start my business. Another perk is the lifetime access to the course and course updates. Phon is also very accessible and supportive and has helped me on more than one occasion with questions. Starting my editing business has had a huge positive impact on my life. I now have the freedom to work from home doing a job I absolutely love! I'm so proud to help romance writers put their best work out in the world.
My editorial business has allowed me to work from home and truly work as my own boss and create my own schedule.
Pennsylvania, USA
Taking this course taught me the skills I needed to offer my editing services with confidence. I have been able to achieve my goal of working from home—or wherever!—full-time."
California, USA
“My business feels like this wonderful extension of myself, and I couldn’t be more happy to work my own schedule, be surrounded by words all day long, and have the real opportunity to make a difference in other people’s lives.”
RACHEL MERCER

“Running my own editorial business has allowed me to do work I truly love from anywhere I want, while creating a meaningful impact for my clients while providing income to build an exciting and prosperous life for me and my partner.”
MIKAEL SHORT

“Having the option to follow my husband as he works in multiple locations, homeschool our children, and still be able to create an income has been amazing! Not much I’d trade it for!“
JAMIE WILKINS

“It has replaced (and doubled) the side income I had from a part-time job that I lost due to Covid. It has given me a goal for a better life during my retirement.”
JEN TOLNAY

“It has allowed me to pursue something for myself, which is incredibly valuable to someone who doesn’t see herself as a creative person. It has given me a degree of confidence in my skills and abilities, and it has connected me with some pretty amazing people.”
JENNIFER BANMAN
The Write Words
Texas, USA
“By working from home, I am able to be here for my mother, whom I take care of, when she needs it, and this has also given me the opportunity to build a business and bring in an income after my own illness prevented me from working a normal nine-to-five.”
CHRISTOPHER DAPRONA
Alphabitz Editing
Florida, USA
It's been incredible! Working a traditional job has proven challenging. Editing actually plays to my strengths and allows me to feel empowered and successful, while also lowering my stress levels, providing increasingly more income, and being fun! Writing and editing is something I've always been deeply passionate about, and helping other authors succeed is extremely fulfilling!"
