Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of a freelance academic editor really looks like? No filters, no fluff—just the honest, unvarnished truth.
In this week’s episode of Leaving Academia: Becoming a Freelance Editor, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my $100+/hour workday. From balancing family life to deep-focus editing sessions, I’m sharing it all.
Tune in to hear:
💻 A real look at my daily schedule—including how I balance client projects, coaching calls, and picking up my kids from school
📑 What an actual editing project looks like—from reviewing graduate theses to editing faculty research papers
📈 How I handle the “feast or famine” nature of freelancing—and why my schedule lets me work just 30 hours a week while earning a full-time income
🎯 The biggest pros and cons of freelance editing—what I love about this career and what can be a bit challenging
Whether you’re just starting to think about freelancing or you’re ready to take the leap out of academia, this episode will give you a real-life snapshot of what’s possible.
