CANNOT TELL YOU HOW INFORMATIVE AND USEFUL I FOUND THIS
I absolutely loved your book, Making Sense of ‘Show, Don’t Tell’. I cannot tell you how informative and useful I found this, and after one read it highlighted approximately 500 issues with my writing. I keep it open when I am writing as I love to dip in and out of it.

I CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO LEARN FROM LOUISE
Being an editor is a rewarding but challenging profession. Imagine my relief when I discovered Louise Harnby and the resources she provides for editors to build our businesses! Louise really gets down into the nitty-gritty of a topic and crucially, you come away being able to put those tips into action.
I recently delved into three: How to Earn Passive Income (book), Editor Website Essentials (multimedia course), and How to Create a Pricing Strategy (book).
All three came at the perfect time for me. Professional enrichment is not a one-off. If we really want to flourish, we editors need to continually examine how we conduct our editing businesses and represent ourselves online.
Thankfully, Louise has a rich supply of exactly the learning materials that editors need – all easily accessible and reasonably priced. Actually, I can't afford NOT to learn from Louise.

MY ONE-STOP-SHOP RESOURCE
I found Louise through her incredibly useful blog. She has become my go-to resource for aspects of writing I know I should pay attention to but when the story is in full spate I sometimes neglect. Editing Fiction at Sentence Level is my one-stop-shop resource. Highly recommended.

THE FICTION EDITING COLLECTION IS A MUST-HAVE
I’ve done your How to Write the Perfect Fiction Editorial Report and Switching to Fiction courses (in that order) and had the pleasant learning experience this week of working through your Fiction Editing Collection (three pdf books covering point of view, punctuation, and show, don’t tell).
The Fiction Editing Collection is a must-have – even for those who have done your Switching to Fiction course or bought the book as a separate item. Although the buyer of both the course and the collection will find an overlap of topics (and of some of the explanations and examples), the buyer of the collection will be thrilled with the standardized structuring of the topics – which is extremely conducive to self-learning – the additional subject matter, and the even more numerous examples and annotations.
The best way to describe the collection is as separate master classes on the topics of point of view, punctuation, and show, don't tell. I'm looking forward to applying what I've been made aware of, and learned how to fix, to the real-world example of a pending edit.

SO MUCH MORE THAN A BOOK ON HOW TO PRICE OUR SERVICES
How to Develop a Pricing Strategy is so much more than a book on how to price our services. I felt lifted after reading it – confident to set aside time dedicated to just me, my business, and my future.
Before, I would freeze as soon as a client asked me for a quote. Once I’d defrosted, I felt sick. I hated quoting for anything beyond a simple proofread or copyedit. ‘Whatever you think is fair,’ was my approach, a strategy that effectively placed me in a perpetual state of either anxiety or denial.
This guide gave me hope. Louise always gives me hope! She smashed my preconceived ideas with a demolition ball, and at first I felt rather exposed. Several chocolate bars and a few chapters later, I began stripping my pricing strategy bare. Then Louise gave me the tools to build it back up so that now it’s built on firmly rooted foundations rather than balancing on wobbly toothpicks.
Through it, I discovered that I had undervalued myself and therefore undervalued my skills and experience. Now I have a pricing voice because I own me and all that I choose to do.

I ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECOMMEND LOUISE HARNBY'S BOOK
Being self-employed as an editorial professional doesn't have to be feast or famine. If you market your services consistently, not just when you're out of projects to work on, you'll be able to say good-bye to dry spells. And for your marketing to be successful, you have to do it in a way that is true to who you are. I enthusiastically recommend Louise Harnby's book, Marketing Your Editing & Proofreading Business, because it shows you, step by step, how to do that.
