For freelance editors
You Didn't Get Into Editing to Be Bad at Business.
You became an editor because you love words. Nobody mentioned the part where you'd spend three hours agonizing over what to chargeā€”and then lowball yourself anyway. Running a freelance business is a whole other skill set, and nobody handed you the manual. That's what this is.

Hi, gorgeousā€”
I'm Molly McCowan.
I've been a freelance editor for over a decade. I've built a business I love, worked with clients I adore, and figured outā€”the hard wayā€”everything they don't tell you when you're starting out.
I'm also one of the loudest voices in the editorial world on AIā€”what it means for editors, how to work alongside it, and how to use it ethically. This industry is changing fast, and I'm here to make sure you're ready.
Now I help other editors skip the painful parts. Not the growthā€”just the unnecessary suffering that comes from not having a roadmap.
You're in the right place.
