How to Become a Freelance Editor: Make Money Copy Editing (Udemy.com)

I was primarily thinking about starting a proofreading second career, but this helps me understand how to expand on that to increase my opportunities.

Its very useful so far. The instructor is excellent.

This class is great for setting yourself up as a freelance editor, especially when it comes to how to advertise yourself and how to work with clients.

Good course with fast-tracked practical experience, though there were a few grammatical errors here and there! ;-) There's a particular document I would like to see included, which I will be asking the lecturer about now.

This course was very focused and on point. I was a little worried when I purchased it that it would be lacking somehow. But, every part of this was great advice for a beginner from an experienced person in the field.

This course was very informative! Quite ironically, though, I noticed errors in some of the slides (and not the one she mentioned, where the title has "be" instead of "Be"). The one I can think of immediately is a slide with three bullets and each bullet is "a)".

A lot of really good editing-specific tips. I have formal editorial training and an English degree, but I wanted to learn more about freelancing. So good to know that I don't need to remember all the proofreading marks for most projects and Track Changes in Word will do! The different editing levels are actually called proofreading, copy and line editing, and developmental editing. The rest seemed spot on though brief on the marketing and business side. Overall would recommend.

I loved the straight-forwardness of all the course content, especially finding clients and the right way to work with them, using a contract, determining your rates and the tips for ongoing work. Plus, it dispelled the myth I had regarding the qualifications needed to seek editing jobs. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to become a freelance editor.

So far I find the course redundant and at this point it has provided no information that is new to me.

I found the course very helpful, especially the nitty gritty regarding pricing and working with clients. Her offering of a sample document for students to use was a great touch. I took pages of notes - would definitely recommend the course.

Very informational so far

The information in this course was exactly what I needed to gain the confidence to move forward with my freelance editing work. The course content is clear, concise, and covered all of the details I was questioning about this business venture.
