Are you considering editing/proofreading manuscripts for fellow authors?
Last week’s post focused on certifications/requirements for book editors. This week, we focus on salaries.
My research says the average salary for book editors ranges from $45k to $85k, depending on the amount of time spent, the type of editing one does, and total business garnered.
The hourly rate in the US is $30.
I don’t know about you, but a large percentage of authors never make that kind of money!
So, if finding and correcting other authors’ mistakes is “enjoyable,” you may want to consider becoming a BOOK EDITOR.
Want the best of both worlds? Why not consider doing both??
