A comprehensive guide to building and maintaining a sustainable, profitable, and enjoyable business as a freelance editor is essential for those who have the requisite skills but lack the entrepreneurial skills to run a thriving and fulfilling business. According to LinkedIn, more than twenty thousand people in the United States list themselves as freelance editors, but many lack the entrepreneurial skills needed to thrive. The few resources available to freelance editors are typically limited in scope and lack the strategic thinking needed to make a business flourish.

The Freelance Editors Handbook provides a complete guide to setting up and running a prosperous freelancing business, from finding clients to increasing productivity, from deciding how to price services to achieving work-life balance, and from paying taxes to saving for retirement. Unlike most other books on freelance editing, this book is founded on a business-success mindset, with the goal of establishing a thriving, rewarding business that allows editors to achieve their career goals, earn a comfortable living, and still have time for family, friends, and personal pursuits.

Author Suzy Bills identifies multiple strategies and methods that freelancers can apply, drawing on current research in entrepreneurship, psychology, and well-being. This book is the ultimate resource for editors at all levels, from students just starting out to in-house staff looking to transition and experienced freelancers who want to make their businesses more profitable and enjoyable.
