When you respond to an ad for a freelance job, you’re competing against other editors, scammers, and email filters. If your carefully crafted introduction raises red flags or is missing important information, it may be routed to the spam folder or dismissed out of hand. How do you get your pitch in front of a potential client, and what will be most appealing to them once it’s there?
This session shares the writer’s perspective on the hunt for a copyeditor, explaining why dozens of responses to a recent posting were easily discarded while others shone. It addresses frequent errors made by both rookie and experienced editors, including using an unprofessional email address, having an inadequate online presence or portfolio, and overdoing the fancy fonts. You’ll also discover how to convey experience without boasting, approach a sample edit, and quote a fee. In just one hour, you’ll learn to ditch your bad habits and rocket to the top of a client’s consideration list.
