About this title

Synopsis

Most freelance editors are skilled at their craft. Few know how to build the relationships that actually bring in clients.

2021 IBPA Silver Medalist

Networking for Freelance Editors is a hands-on workbook that gives editors, proofreaders, indexers, fact-checkers, translators, and other publishing freelancers a practical system for growing a professional network that works.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Let go of pressure-filled networking myths that make the whole thing feel impossible

• Follow a clear, step-by-step strategy for building lasting professional relationships — at your own pace, in your own style

• Use guided worksheets to design a networking practice that plays to your strengths and delivers results

• Build the client pipeline and referral network that supports a sustainable freelance business

"Dowdle and Ruggeri have created a truly outstanding how-to resource — one I highly recommend for any editor at any stage of their career. It's networking guidance that actually makes a difference. Read it and do it."
— Louise Harnby, Fiction Editor and Proofreader

Whether you're just starting out or ready to network more intentionally, this workbook helps you move past impostor syndrome, stop spinning your wheels, and build a professional network that supports your long-term freelance success.

Your next client is one relationship away. Start building.
