What’s required?

Full investment

You need work urgently. That means investing time and effort intensively, devoting your full attention to the problem in hand.

A little courage

Some of the steps might take you out of your comfort zone. However, in an emergency we need to be brave! Take a deep breath and do it anyway.

Fitness for market

You should be trained to industry standards. All the marketing in the world won't help an editor who's not qualified for the job.

Readiness to act now

You must be ready to take action immediately. This programme isn't about long-term strategy but about finding a solution to a current crisis.

Colleen: My longtime client is upending its business model, so work has been tapering for a while. Now it’s scarce. They kept me so busy – for years – and now here I am, newish to marketing myself and newish to working with indie authors/self-publishers. Your webinar was jam-packed with the actionable advice I need as I reinvent my business model. Thanks again!

Kerrie: Even though the video was on how to get editing work, the ideas therein regarding improving one's website, marketing in general and various marketing ideas are helpful across the board. I may not start an editing business, but my website will surely get a tune up and I cannot wait to start my Hero Resource/Booklet(s). I will most certainly be putting her other marketing gems to work for me as well. I'm looking forward to mining the rest of her site for more gold as I'm sure it's everywhere.

Gill: REALLY useful and I was pleasantly surprised to find it covered such a wide range of editing work. Some things I knew but had forgotten; others I had applied when a newbie without success but, hey, I'm seven years down the line now! Some things reminded me to do some tweaking and the best of all, that 'one thing' I believe I needed to do but I couldn't think of it – there it was! I'm now on the books of two new publishers and waiting to hear the outcome of a test for a third; I delivered the first job today for a new client, a distinguished academic from Italy. Louise, you are brilliant!
