Mentioned in this post:
- Getting paid
- When there’s an error in the manuscript (aka always)
- Red flags that warn a project is perhaps best turned down
- Using checklists while editing
- Taking ongoing training (professional development)
- Getting paid might include a 50% deposit.
- When copy might result in libel or injure a reader
- Backing up files (see the June–July 2016 newsletter)
- Keeping notes and having a business executor
- Ways to lower the potential losses (to clients) because of critical illness or death
- The reality that their work won’t be perfect
