ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sarah Townsend has spent the past 20 years as a freelance marketing copywriter. She built a successful freelance career with very little guidance - but you don't have to.
In Survival Skills for Freelancers she shares the secrets and surprises she's learnt from self-employment: both the things that worked AND the things that didn't.
She guides you through the highs and lows all freelancers face - from isolation, uncertainty and self-doubt to knowing what to charge, when to ask for help, and when to say no.
These tried and tested strategies are based on her own experience, backed up by research, resources and quotes from the freelance community.

Описание: A comprehensive guide to building and maintaining a sustainable, profitable, and enjoyable business as a freelance editor. According to LinkedIn, more than twenty thousand people in the United States list themselves as freelance editors. But many who have the requisite skills to be excellent editors lack the entrepreneurial skills needed to run a thriving, fulfilling business. The few resources available to freelance editors, new and established, are typically limited in scope and lack the strategic thinking needed to make a business flourish. The Freelance Editor's Handbook provides a complete guide to setting up and running a prosperous freelancing business, from finding clients to increasing productivity, from deciding how to price services to achieving work/life balance, and from paying taxes to saving for retirement. Unlike most other books on freelance editing, this book is founded on a business-success mindset: The goal isn't simply to eke out a living through freelancing. Rather, the goal is to establish a thriving, rewarding business that allows editors to achieve their career goals, earn a comfortable living, and still have time for family, friends, and personal pursuits. Author Suzy Bills identifies multiple strategies and methods that freelancers can apply, drawing on current research in entrepreneurship, psychology, and well-being. This book is the ultimate resource for editors at all levels: students just starting out, in-house staff looking to transition, and experienced freelancers who want to make their businesses more profitable and enjoyable.
