The multi-billion dollar publishing industry is exploding! According to market research, it’s expected to grow by $23.73 Billion in the 2020-2024 period.
What’s driving these crazy numbers? For starters, the industry is no longer controlled by a few powerful publishers with limited publishing capacity and long-drawn publishing time-frames.
The internet has made it easier for authors and writers to publish their work without waiting for a top-tier publishing company to give them the nod.
The flip side is that the editor’s work has become more important than ever, to help serious writers stand out from the crowd of wannabes churning out low-quality writing. That’s pushed up the demand for freelance editors who can provide quality editing services at affordable pricing.
This is a great time for editors who can pick up some business and entrepreneurial skills, and take their game to the next level. While there’s no shortcut to success, the process itself is not as complicated as you might think.
