Business tools for editors and proofreaders

Useful editorial software, resources and templates
I've expanded my Resources page to provide fellow editors and proofreaders – particularly new entrants to the field – with a one-stop shop for some of the business tools I've created.

I'll keep adding to this editor resource hub as new tools become available. In the meantime, this is a flavour of what's on offer:

• An editorial invoice template (UK version; if you live outside the UK, your tax authority might require the inclusion of different information). The template includes dropdown boxes to speed up invoice-building for regular clients (Excel)
• PDF proofreading stamps
• An editorial accounts-and-scheduling template (Excel)
• An editorial style-sheet template (Word)
• An editorial progressive-pricing-array template (Excel)
• A list of national editing and proofreading societies

Where appropriate, I've included the raw Excel or Word files, rather than PDFs, so that you can amend for your own needs.
