How do I network as an editor?
How can I network if I'm an introvert?

- leverage your strengths to create a networking practice that gets results.
By reimagining your approach to networking and using the worksheets provided with Networking for Freelance Editors, you'll build the network you need right now and also the one you can rely on tomorrow. Conquer impostor syndrome, wasted effort, and overwhelm, and grow the network you want—the one that provides support, connections, and opportunities.
Reviews
-
Louise Harnby, Fiction Editor and Proofreader
"Networking for Freelance Editors teaches you how to engage with others in ways that show rather than tell that you're ready to help, ready to engage, ready to talk, and ready to listen. The result is a targeted strategy that gets you noticed and frames you as an editor who's part of the solution rather than part of the problem. 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."

Andrew Hodges, PhD, Fiction Editor and Publishing Consultant
(Read the full review here)“The book contains tips and friendly guidance for networking as an editor. It especially suits freelancers, in what can be a lonely pursuit. I particularly appreciated the book’s inclusive writing style and approach. . . While aimed at editors, much of the content (except for specific details such as professional associations etc.) would also suit those working in adjacent professions, such as copywriters and translators.”
