COMMON MISTAKES

Offering editing without subject matter alignment, skipping a sample edit, or overediting the author’s voice.

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (LLC) CONSIDERATIONS

Authors offering editing, consulting, or self-publishing help are running a side business — forming an LLC limits their liability. Authors offering freelance services or coaching can limit their liability and organize finances better under an LLC. Editing or writing for clients? An LLC provides credibility and protection as you grow your business.
