This episode is all about book editor visibility.

tl;dr: For most editors, visibility is an optional strategy, not a necessity

Tune in to hear how:

  • Visibility isn't something you have to do if you're an editor.
  • You can have a fallow season without pressure to be visible.
  • The pressure to be consistent can have negative mental health implications.
  • Referrals are a significant source of clients for editors.
  • Not all visible editors are successful
  • Building relationships is often more effective than audience building.
  • Social media visibility can help if you're selling low-ticket offerings or editing for self-published authors.
  • It's possible to run a successful editing business without social media.
  • A focus on depth in client relationships rather than quantity can work well.
