Okay, that’s not true. I can say a lot more than that. The people I trust in this world are the ones whose actions match their words. I look at what people do more than what they say. And you are one of the best examples of leadership by example. You speculate about nothing, you only tell your own story. LOVE THE BOOK. Especially the part about how may “ugly” websites still make money :-) <a href="http://www.i2carts.com">Sell digital products</a> Well, Christine, all I can say is that this is fantastic!

Both have exercises and answer keys and will give you a good idea of the kind of thing you'd be taking on (that inborn eye for typos is invaluable, but not all-sufficient: you will need education and practice). There are many local associations of editors; if there is one in your area, you may want to go to their meetings or conventions. Consider joining discussion lists such as Copyediting-L, too.

I just posted on one of your other posts. I found your blog...actually I don't even remember how I wound up here haha. Oh the tangled mess of the Internet! But anyway, I just wanted to let you know that with each post I'm reading through, you're really inspiring me and I feel like you're such a nice and approachable person - a rarity these days, it seems. Even though you're up front that you're making money and trying to make money, you attend to your readers in a genuine way without trying to sell and just have ulterior motives, and it's so appreciated. I really hope that I can freelance someday. I've been working with corporate blogging at my job for about a year now and I feel like I could be a consultant on my own, but I still feel like there's so much to learn that I haven't learned yet. It's a little intimidating! Hi Christine,
