Joining the crew of freelance editors
I’ve been debating about doing this for a while and I’ve decided to take the plunge: I’ve decided to take on freelance editing. Editing is something that I enjoy doing, especially when it comes to fiction. I’ve picked up a few projects from close friends that have asked for help with fiction works and academic papers. The kind of editing that I do takes on a form of line edits/basic copyediting* and developmental. I own Chicago Manual of Style book, 17th edition, so that is what I would use for fiction editing. As for academic, I tend to edit with a professor’s requirements of a paper and how it should be styled, i.e. APA, and basic line editing. I also would make suggestions on how to articulate what is meant.
Fiction and academic works are just two types I plan to start with, but not limited to once I am ready to take on works. (I’m finishing my novel, which you can track the progress under the Currently Writing tab and on Instagram.)I will not take on any nonfiction works outside of academia as to not interfere with my day job, which I mainly edit in AP style. I’ll make a separate post once I'm ready to helping out my fellow writers. P.S. I’ve created a Ko-Fi account, so if you like some of the content I produce here, feel free to donate there. It would be greatly appreciated.
