Got a problem? Just ask

Q&A with Louise is an ongoing series of posts curated on my blog, The Proofreader's Parlour. The series aims to help existing editorial business owners, and those considering a move into the field, navigate some of the challenges of being self-employed.

Perhaps you're thinking of editing and proofreading as a possible career. Or maybe you'be been in business for a while but are struggling with a particular aspect of marketing, branding or client acquisition.

Whatever the issue, I'll do my best to help. And if I don't have an answer up my sleeve, or I feel that your problem is beyond my skill set, I'll do my very best to point you in the direction of an editorial colleague or organization who can help you.

Submit your question

Chances are that your question is not unique; if it's a problem for you, it's a problem for many others, too. And when you agree to share your problem you help others, so thank you for contributing! Still, your privacy is my primary concern, and not all of you will want your name to be used. I only ever use first names, but if you want yours changed, and other aspects of your identity masked, just let me know in the form below.
