What editors are saying . . .
“Networking for Freelance Editors teaches you how to engage with others in ways that show rather than tell that you’re ready to help, ready to engage, ready to talk, and ready to listen. The result is a targeted strategy that gets you noticed and frames you as an editor who’s part of the solution rather than part of the problem. Dowdle and Ruggeri have created a truly outstanding how-to resource—one I highly recommend for any editor at any stage of their career. It’s networking guidance that actually makes a difference. Read it and do it.”
“Although I already ‘knew’ what networking is, I had not really understood it, especially in the publishing business. This book has helped me discover a new way of doing my work, by collaborating and learning from other colleagues. Congratulations to the authors for offering a practical approach to a topic that is frequently misunderstood.”
