I nurtured relationships with a couple editors. Casually, we agreed to refer the other to projects/clients we couldn't/didn't want to take. It benefitted both of us, w/o hurting either of us.
Nothing has been so persuasive in convincing me to abandon the scarcity mindset.

This morning I spent an hour plotting my agenda for the rest of 2024. I am FULLY booked 😅 And have been since August. I've been freelancing for almost 7 years, but that is a new phenomenon for me.
Now accepting projects for January 2025 and onward 🙌
When you created an editorial style guide for a client that, months later—after your brain had forgotten the client's preferences—answered every style Q you had a second project for that client.
@ACESEditors Hi, @ACESEditors! I have a session proposal to submit, but seems like the experience would be more fun in partnership with another editor. Any recs for ACES members who edit *website copy*? I tried searching Editors for Hire, but it's a slow process.
There's nothing scarier than when sound comes out of my computer (thanks to a webpage's popup video) when I'm not expecting sound to come out of my computer.
