To all other editors and ghostwriters:
There’s apparently this $2000 online course called Fiction Profits Academy ‘teaching’ people how to make tons of passive income on Amazon as an ‘author’ by outsourcing everything. They’re being taught to squeeze writers and editors for everything they’ve got for the lowest possible price.
The students have flooded Upwork. You’ve probably seen all the many listings for ghost writing with infinitesimal budgets popping up. STAY AWAY.
These people are trying to flood the self publishing market with the sole purpose of making money. They are going to drive the cost of work way down, negatively affecting all freelancers whether they work directly with an FPA student or not.
I don’t know what makes them think this is a good idea. Authors who actually write books themselves and publish with the purpose of sharing their stories barely break even.
Readers aren’t stupid. They can tell if your story has heart or not, and these people trying to pay $300 for an entire novel? There’s no heart in that.
So good luck to these students, many of whom are already $10k+ in the red. And good luck to the freelancers they’re bleeding dry.

Hi! I'm offering my editing services now! I've been officially freelancing as an editor for roughly two years now, but honestly, I've been doing it casually since I was a teenager. So, I figured what's the harm of throwing this out into the Tumblr Void.
Proofreading: $0.01 per word
Copyediting: $0.013 per word
Feel free to message me if you have any questions!

Because hey, maybe I should talk about this more...
I’m a fanfiction beta reader, and an editor of original fiction!
For fanfiction: Full details are on my beta reader page, but here are the basics:
I’ve beta read over 325k worth of fic for various authors
I’m only beta reading for Supernatural right now
Wherever you’re at with your fic, I’m happy to help
I have certain preferences about what I work on, but let’s discuss!
I don’t charge for beta reading—fandom is a gift economy, bay-bee 😎
For original works:
I’m a Staff editor for Duck Prints Press, and I’ve done freelance editing work here and there over the last 10+ years
I prefer to work on novel-length stories, but I’m also experienced with short stories
While I am happy to proofread, the core service I offer is an editorial letter, or manuscript evaluation: I read the story and provide detailed feedback, which mostly takes the form of analysis and constructive criticism, but I also include positive feedback so you know what’s working
I typically work on stories that are already complete, but I can also provide conceptual/developmental feedback or help you troubleshoot issues in the planning or in-progress stages
I do charge for these editing services; we can discuss rates once I know some basic details of your project 😊
If you have questions or you’re interested in working with me, send me an ask or a message. You can also find my email address on my Carrd. (If you know someone who’d be interested, feel free to send them my way!)

Do you need another pair of eyes on your writing?
All-in-one proofreader/copyeditor/beta reader services!
As a writer who will, without fail, notice a dozen typos, inconsistencies, and structure issues the second I post my work online or decide I'm finished with it, I know this struggle like a dear friend. Asking someone to read over my work and point out issues I haven't noticed always helps, but asking someone with a trained eye for this work is especially beneficial. I am a reporter for a statewide, well-respected newspaper, which gives me experience with quick turnaround times, effective communication, research, and, of course, writing and editing. When I'm not interviewing doctors on the latest developments in pancreatic cancer treatments or researching the history of newly designated landmarks, I spend time working on my own projects or making my way through my endless TBR pile. If you think I can help you on your own writing project(s), let's talk about it!
My rate, which includes copyediting (grammar, spelling, sentence structure), an evaluation of the overall concept and characters, as well as in-depth discussion (either via message or voice chat) of my feedback and any questions you may have. I currently charge $0.015 per word, which translates to $15 per 1,000 words. For larger projects (exceeding 20,000 words) a more exact quote will be provided.
I'm also happy to adjust to whatever you're looking for in an editor! If you want me to be super blunt and rip apart each word of your story? I can totally do that. But if you want someone who can give more empathetic advice, (something I can understand seeking, as someone who prefers criticism in the form of a compliment sandwich lol), I am happy to do that instead! I've been told I'm good at being honest without acting as though my advice is the only correct option.
If you're interested in chatting with me about this, please reach out! My DMs are always open. You can also contact me on Discord, at laneybug.
Thanks for reading, and reblogs/shares are appreciated! :)
PS this felt so painfully advertise-y to write but I'm just trying to sound professional ... I promise I'm actually a chill person <3

Hi Kat! Do you have any advice for those who want to become freelance editors?
practice practice practice. my first real editing experience came from being a critique partner for a lot of writers (this was like a decade ago, back when twitter wasn’t the cesspool it now is) bc i got to learn (technically) on the job. reading a lot helped, in as many genres and categories as i could. paying attention to minute details in books (such as how to use proper grammar. i wish more people paid attention to that when they’re reading books for fun, so things like em dashes would be used properly, but i digress). i didn’t start working as a freelance editor until 2018, bc by then i knew a lot more about writing and editing after i got my BA in history. we had to critique others’ work alongside editing our own in that degree, so i got a lot more experience under my belt.
practice makes perfect, as they say.
one thing that also helped me become a freelance editor is the authors whose books i’ve worked on. i’m not gonna name names obv but nearly every writer friend i was a critique partner or beta reader for sold to the Big 5 (the ones who aren’t yet published will be one day, i’m 100% certain) so being able to put their books on my resume helped me get the job with the company i’m now with. i was also a pitch wars mentor for two years, which looks good on a freelance editing resume bc it proves that not only can i edit, i’m a good collaborator and a mentor, so i don’t just slap an edit onto the page and tell the writer to make it without explaining why i suggested the edit. i never make an edit (well, a big edit, like cutting a character or rearranging a battle scene; i don’t always explain why i changed a comma into a semicolon, yknow?) without explaining why i made it and providing an example or two of what the author could do instead.
i also know how to be kindly honest. by that i mean that i will be brutally honest about what needs fixing, but i’m not a dick about it. my edit letters always start with praise, explaining the things i really enjoyed and things the author did really well. then i dive into the edits that the book needs. for most edits, but especially if they’re big, i explain why the edit needs to happen and provide advice on how to go about making the edit. for instance, my most recent client was concerned about the middle third of her book, since one plot thread is all but dropped only to be picked up again in the last third. i agreed that the middle had a big slump and also that that plot thread shouldn’t be dropped bc it was one of the main driving forces behind the plot. my suggestion was to cut two characters who, while interesting, weren’t exactly needed in the book (they could easily wait til the next book in the series to make their debut), and replace them with a brand new third character who would be the ticket to 1) holding up that plot thread and 2) upping the action and stakes in the middle of the book to erase the slump and make the narrator feel more urgent about defeating the big bad in the last third of the book.
and honestly, besides all that, one of the most important things an editor needs to know how to do is match the voice, style, and tone the author is creating. it’s not the editor’s book, so the editor needs to check their own writing style and voice at the door and adopt that of the author whose book they’re editing. it’s one reason why editing takes up a lot of creativity (one major reason i don’t want to be a career editor, bc i’d just end up using up all my creativity on other people’s books rather than on my own books). when you make an edit, you have to ensure it fits with the ambience the author has created, rather than introducing something with a completely different tone.
idk if this even makes sense since i feel like i’m rambling at this point, so i’ll end here. but hopefully this explains a little? feel free to send another ask if you want any clarification!

The universe really has a beef with me rn.
So, on Monday I got offered 1000$ to do an editing job. For someone whose freelance copy editing business has barely gotten off the ground, this is a big deal.
Then today my laptop crashed with the always wonderful Blue Screen of Death.
It restarts, and I'm STUCK on the welcome screen. No matter what I do, my laptop won't load. I try startup repair, I try accessing anything, and nothing is working. It's been almost two hours and my laptop STILL won't boot up.
And like...I'm on disability. I don't have an Emergency New Laptop Fund. I have 7¢ in my bank account rn and I have no idea wtf I'm gonna do.
