Freelance Editors
Working for Capstone Editing offers security and professional development to freelance editors in Australia from all backgrounds.
What is a freelance editor?
A freelance editor is an editor who runs their own freelance business. They may work for several or many clients and may work in a range of different specialisations, such as being a freelance editor for research journals, freelance fiction editor, freelance scientific editor, freelance novel editor or freelance book editor.
Freelance editors must perform all their own administrative tasks, as well as marketing themselves effectively to attract and retain clients consistently. Freelance editing involves a significant degree of freedom, including being able to set your own work hours, the volume of work you take on, when you take time off and your own rates—you can charge exactly what you’re worth! However, running a freelance business also involves a level of uncertainty and inconsistency, which can be stressful, particularly if you are just starting out as a freelance editor.
This is where Capstone Editing can help! We employ many freelance editors, offering them guaranteed job security and flexibility, as well as taking care of workflow and important administrative tasks such as client contact and support. Consider joining our team today!
