Benefits
Editcetera is a self-governing association of freelance publishing professionals. Since 1971, we have served more than a thousand clients in the publishing, business, and technical industries.
Advantages You Can Count On
Editcetera frees you from some of the routine, and sometimes painful, aspects of freelancing.
- We market your services to a broad range of clients.
- We provide clients with your résumé and other required background material.
- We bill clients, collect payments, and follow up with clients who fail to pay on time.
- We consolidate some tax information (1099s).
Resources, Community, and Support
Here are just a few of the less tangible—but no less important—benefits of Editcetera membership:
- Editcetera members are generous about sharing information on methods, resources, and business practices. If you have a question, another member can probably answer it—whether by recommending a specialized dictionary or simply by discussing a particular convention.
- The director and other members can offer practical support when you encounter the inevitable difficult job.
- When you need extra help with a job or you have to turn one down, you can call the director for a referral and be confident that another member will provide high-quality service.
- Editcetera is there to help you through the slow times; if a scheduled job suddenly falls through, the director can sometimes find you other work within a short time.
- Members’ gatherings provide a chance to socialize and network with other members and share experiences about freelancing, clients, and tricks of the trade.
