To be a successful freelance editor, you need to run a business like a boss. With the right training, you can do that quicker and easier.
When I became a freelance editor, I knew I would enjoy editing, but I had no idea how much I would enjoy the admin side of things. I love it! So I have spent time learning how to streamline tasks and have built processes and systems to stay on top of everything. Whether you love it or hate it, the truth is you have to run your business.
This course, which covers every aspect of the admin side of running your business except marketing, helps make running your business more manageable and, dare I say it, even more enjoyable.
This course will help you either set up your business or fine-tune and improve your administrative processes.
You will get the most out of this course because it will help you get your entire administrative side up and running.
Because you already have some of your admin pieces in place, not all the content will be relevant to you, but you will find plenty of tips to increase your effectiveness as a business owner.
If you already have a website and you love it, great; skip the website content and creation lessons. If you feel you’re struggling to manage your time or projects, then check out the project management unit.
With this course, you work at your own pace so you can continue editing as much as you want/need while also learning how to build or improve your business systems and management.

Why struggle to figure out the best way to run your editorial business or lose money with trial-and-error solutions when you can just learn from those who have spent the time and built customizable systems and processes for you?
And, sure, you can learn some tips and tricks from a book, but with this course, you get personalized feedback and answers to any of your questions on all admin topics, all in one place.
It’s time to be an organized, on-top-of it boss who spends less time admining and more time growing their business!

As a former English teacher, named the best teacher my principal had ever seen, I know how to teach and present content in an engaging way. And I know how to give great feedback.
I started Beacon Point as a freelance editor in 2017. Now as of August 2024, my company has become an agency with a team of editors. I work as a nonfiction and fiction developmental editor and copy editor for independent authors.
