QuestionI don't live in the UK. Can I still work as a freelance proofreader? AnswerAbsolutely. You will be able to organise your business so that you receive proofreading projects via email, complete them on your pc, and then return the completed projects via email too. Many successful freelance proofreaders and editors work in this way for clients that are located all over the world. Location is not a problem. |
