It will take you from where you are now and equip you to advance your career to the next level with lightning speed, whether that means establishing yourself in the field or honing your skills.

The governing principle of Dr Lines’ approach—and all of her work—is ‘fast but perfect’. Not only is Your Editing Career Launched accessible to time-starved workers and students, but it also offers an intensive, deep learning experience. You start learning from the moment you enrol and continue learning long after the face-to-face component ends.

Free webinar!

You’ll learn the three most important things you need to know to build an amazing freelance editing career. These crucial points are often forgotten or neglected even by experienced editors.

At the end, Dr Lines provides a comprehensive overview of the Your Editing Career Launched course and what it includes. It really is the best way to find out what you can achieve through enrolling. It also gives you a chance to experience what Dr Lines has to offer as an instructor.

The webinar also includes an in-depth Q&A component, during which you'll hear previous live participants ask all their questions about Your Editing Career Launched.
