Proofreading and editing: Why you need to talk like a specialist

​How to make your proofreading and editing business stand out
If you're a new proofreader or editor and you're wondering whether you should specialize, here's my advice, all packed up into a 15-page PDF booklet.

I believe that being a specialist makes sense in a global editorial market, and in this free mini ebook, I discuss how using the appropriate language helps you achieve the following goals, even if you're a new starter:
​

• Clearer communication about what you do
• Increased client trust and editor authenticity
• Improved SEO 
• Greater client engagement because you're demonstrating competence and knowledge
• Increased client attention on the solutions you offer rather than the number of years you've been doing the job
