“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.”

Your Instructor
I started proofreading and editing with no connections or prior experience, so I know what it’s like to be at the beginning with nothing but your dreams and a love of reading.
Twenty years, 1800+ books, and over 15 industry niches later, I’ve discovered the exact steps that will take you from overwhelmed and Googling to confident and professional. In this masterclass, I’m sharing some important lessons I’ve learned about working as a freelance proofreader and editor, and these are things you need to know if you want to do it full time or as a side hustle — from home or anywhere.
As an experienced, working editor, I love helping people learn to do what I do! If you’re curious about growing your knowledge of publishing and communications, while also gaining some serious professional skills, then I can’t wait to help you get there.
See you in class!

“My days are filled with helping share other people’s stories and collaborating with creatives on projects I never could have dreamed about a few months ago. 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.”
