The Edit Better Letter
The Edit Better Letter is a monthly (ish) newsletter for editors, proofreaders and other wordy people who set no limits on editing – and running their editing businesses – better.
‘The newsletter every editor – freelance or employed – should sign up to.’
Ayesha Chari

Why edit better?
Better is what our feathered editor friend is trying to achieve. She has her ups and downs, and sometimes the lows can be pretty discouraging. But the point is to keep trying – in big ways and small – to edit better.
Better for our intellectual curiosity. Better for our financial health. Better for our wellbeing. And, for freelancers, better for our clients and for the sheer pleasure of owning and operating our own little corner of the professional world.

What readers are saying
‘The Editorial Project Review Template is a useful tool for editors to use. It distils a project neatly into clear categories without being overcomplicated, and sometimes a few simple prompts are all you need to clarify your thoughts and gain a wider perspective on things. The template provides a convenient and attractive way to summarise a project; it won’t take too long to fill out and will facilitate comparing different projects, or the same project over time.’
