Here are some of the editorial services you can provide from the quiet of your own home:
● Copyediting. This is where fact checking takes place, and where grammatical, stylistic and typographical errors are caught.
● Proofreading. This is the last stop for a “finished” piece. The proofreader makes sure the copyediting changes have been properly made and no new errors are created in the process.
● Indexing. There are indexing courses available and you can get indexing software.
● Developmental editing. A developmental editor works with a manuscript on big-picture things like organization and content issues.
● Book doctoring. This is an editorial service provided for manuscripts written by experts. They create a manuscript as best they can and then a book doctor puts it into publishable shape.
● Ghost Writing. As a ghost writer, you actually do the research and write the book and someone else’s name is attached as the author.
● Copywriting. Also known as business writing, this is writing that promotes a product or a service.
● Book writing. Do you have an expertise in something professional, such as accounting or interior decorating? Or personally, like knitting? Why not write a book about it?
● Magazine article writing. Magazines and newspapers are a great way to get your writing published before tackling the daunting task of writing a whole book.
● Web page content provider. Providing content for a web site is a good way to make some money writing.
