Paulina S. Cossette, PhD
Founder | Acadia Editing Services
I spent over a decade in academia, desperately trying to make it work. The result was that I was overworked, underpaid, and riddled with constant anxiety. In 2019 I left and became an academic copy editor. I now own a thriving business that brings in over six figures a year and gives me more joy than I ever thought possible. Join me to learn how you can take the first steps on your journey to similar success.
Your gateway to a new life.
Many faculty and others with academic backgrounds repeatedly try and fail to get hired as freelance academic editors. This is because it can be difficult to translate your multi-page CV into a 1-page resume, and it can be even more challenging to pass the editing tests required by employers. With my guidance and proven templates, you can simplify the process and improve your chances of being hired. During the first part of the workshop, I'll explain the freelance academic editing landscape--the types of editing you can do and the companies that hire freelance editors--and I'll open the floor to answer your questions. In the second half, I'll walk you through drafting a 1-page resume and email cover letter (using the provided templates) and explain how you can prepare to pass the second stage of your application: the editing test. A final Q&A will close out the workshop.
Save your seat.
Freelancing can be done as a side hustle or a new career, and it's not as scary as you think. Learn how to get started in our workshop on September 13.
