At Club Ed, we tell the truth. Yes, you should skip the Speedo. No, you shouldn't feed the sharks. And yes, running a freelance editing business is work. Hard work.

But that doesn't mean it can't be fun! The Club Ed Guide to Starting and Running a (Profitable) Freelance Editing Business is a laid-back guide to helping you figure out how to launch and run an editing business, whether you're planning on doing it as a side hustle or a full-time gig. This book will help you:

• Understand how your purpose drives your marketing
• Define your personal and professional goals for your business
• Develop effective marketing (and learn how to assess it)
• Immerse yourself where your clients are
• Manage clients and run the backend of your business
• Cultivate the right mindset to succeed at freelancing
• Deal with taxes, contracts, and the people who scare you

. . . and more!
