Plan, Start, and Grow Your Editing Business
A business planning blueprint that will take you from vague idea to successful editing business
Does this sound familiar?
- You think you want to be an editor, but you don’t know what that entails or how to start that kind of business.
- You’ve already started your editing business but you’re floundering, wondering why everyone else makes it look easy.
- You’ve taken some training courses, but they didn’t answer your most burning questions like how to set your rates and payment policies, deal with difficult clients, and track your projects so you have all your business data right at your fingertips.
If you answered YES to any of these statements, Business Planning Powerhouse can help you.
Running a business can be stressful! Imagine streamlining your business to the point where almost every project you work on runs smoothly from start to finish.
- You know exactly who your ideal clients are so you don’t take on work that will make you want to run back to your old boss.
- You know how much money you need to earn to have the life you want and how to raise your rates when you need to.
- You know exactly when your next availability is and how long it usually takes you to edit a certain number of words so you won’t double-book yourself, leave gaps in your schedule, or miss deadlines.
- You have systems in place to track all the important data so you know what’s what in your business at all times and you’re prepared for emergencies.

I can’t wait to help you take the stress out of starting and growing your editing business!
Hi, I’m Catherine, a freelance proofreader, copyeditor, and writer.
I started my business in 2017, and although I’ve taken multiple editing skills courses over the years, and even some business courses, none of them answered all of my questions.
Few of us are born with business skills; they’re something we build up from experience, but learning from someone who’s been in your shoes trying to build an editing business from the ground up can drastically reduce your learning curve. I’ve made plenty of mistakes over the years, and I don’t want you to have to suffer through those same mistakes.
I’m delighted to have the opportunity to share how I built my business from not knowing what the heck I was doing to regularly being booked out several months in advance. It’s possible to run a successful editing business even if you have no prior business experience.
Business Planning Powerhouse is perfect for you if you…
- want to edit books for a living but you’re not sure what goes into running an editing business
- want to stop getting stressed out by admin tasks so you can grow your business
- have the skills to do the job but worry you don’t have the business skills to be successful
If you want to eliminate overwhelm from not knowing who your ideal clients are, having multiple tracking systems in your business, or not knowing how to communicate with your clients, Business Planning Powerhouse is for you!
