Why I Chose to Join a Professional Editing Association

juillet 20, 2023 by S. Robin Larin | Un commentaire sur Why I Chose to Join a Professional Editing Association

Like many freelance editors, I’m an independent introvert. I prefer a private working environment, forming my own definitions of my editing services and working alone to my own schedule (with regular reminders of break times by my feline editorial assistants).
