From the publisher of The Chicago Manual of Style comes The Chicago Guide for Freelance Editors, the definitive guide to running a freelance editing business and finding greater control and freedom in your work life. In this book, Erin Brenner-an industry leader and expert on the business of editorial freelancing-gathers everything you need to know into a single resource. The Chicago Guide for Freelance Editors will walk you through the entire process of conceiving, launching, and working in a freelance editing business, from deciding on services and rates to choosing the best business structure to thinking through branding and marketing strategies and beyond. You'll find detailed coverage of such issues as handling difficult clients and continuing professional development, as well as a collection of advice from other successful editors and an extensive list of resources and tools. In the final and perhaps most important chapter, Brenner teaches you how to care for the key component of the business: yourself.
