Editing Project Tracker
$17
You’ll never miss a deadline again thanks to the Editing Project Tracker, which was designed to help freelance editors with capacity planning and ensure they overdeliver on each client project.
This simple-yet-smart Excel spreadsheet is so easy to use! It will help you track how much progress you’ve made on your editing project and calculate how many words or pages you need to edit each day to complete your project on time.
Start your next editing project knowing you’ll be able to impress your clients with your time management skills and grow your freelance editing business with data-driven capacity planning.
Highlights
- Created for freelance editors via a partnership between me and freelance editor Erica Mito
- Enables editors to plan their project timelines well, maximizing profitability and overdelivering on client expectations
- Easily customizable, thanks to clearly labeled editable fields
- Math-free thanks to advanced formulas that calculate project data for you
- Reusable from project to project
The Editing Tracker works so well. Having a clearer visual breakdown makes me feel less overwhelmed and alerts me when I’m starting to feel stuck. It really helps to have the formula that can adjust when I’m not meeting the expected words per hour.
I love it! I’m obsessed I can just copy a tab for each project I’m currently working on/have scheduled.
I was using a calendar per-word breakdown I created in Sheets before, but this is sooo much better!

Frequently Asked Questions
Any freelance editor would benefit from using the Editing Project Tracker, no matter your Excel expertise or what type of documents you edit.
Please reuse! That’s what it was designed for. That said, your purchase is only valid for one business entity and may not be shared with others.
Yes and no. You should absolutely edit the pink boxes—that is how you customize the tracker for your specific editing project. However, be sure not to edit the green boxes (as the instructions state) so that the formulas stay intact and everything is calculated properly.
