TaraI’m sure this won’t shock you, but as a freelance editor, I love to read!
I actually got my start as a freelance editor as a book blogger. I was working for a luxury hotel chain at the time and started book blogging because I was bored. As I was writing more book reviews, I started getting interested in editing and eventually landed an internship with a romance publisher.
As they say, the rest is history! I’ve been in publishing and editing ever since!
Even though I literally read for a living, I still love to read for fun on my own — even if I don’t get to do it as much as I used to. I’m often asked my favorite books for freelance editors, and today, I’m sharing my favorites with you!
