Where can I find freelance editing jobs?

Answer by  mem4dr (1378)

There are many online job sites exclusively devoted to freelance work. Be advised, however, that if you want to do editing, you will most likely either need professional experience in the editing field or, at the very least, an excellent writing portfolio to show to prospective employers. Your writing portfolio should have samples that are grammatically perfect.
