It isn’t easy breaking into the world of copy-editing. Freelance work is assumed to be less stressful and less demanding, but this is a misconception; in actuality, there is just as much pressure – potentially more – than with contracted work. Factors such as establishing a name, advertisement, demand for work and technical ability are all important issues that need to be considered before making a foray into freelance copy-editing.

Getting the Copy-Editor Recognised

One of the first step that need be taken is establishing an identity. A freelance copy-editor needs a base of operations, where they can advertise their services and their qualifications. In today’s online world, an effective way to do this is to create a website. The internet is often the first place clients will look when searching for a freelance copy-editor, because of how easy it is to search online for services. By establishing an online presence, detailing the freelance copy-editor’s business, they are opening themselves up to being searched out and approached.
