Have you decided to change your editing niche but don’t know how
to kick-start the transition?
I’m speaking with Kath Kovac in this week’s episode. Her editing
business grew from word of mouth and she’s enjoyed a career in
science editing. Having done a few other jobs and realised she’s
keen to do more work editing children’s nonfiction books, the
thought of re-establishing herself in a new niche is a bit
daunting. Where to start?
As freelance editors we get to work on different topics and take up
work where our interests, and client opportunities, take us. You
might have established your career in one niche and then your
interest takes you in another direction.
But making a decision to change your direction doesn’t
automatically translate into taking action. We have a habit of
throwing up our own roadblocks at important decision-making
stages.
Have a listen to today’s episode to learn how to spot and plan
around those roadblocks to take the next action step to recharge
your editing business.
