When you need to get a job done, you may not immediately consider hiring someone who is freelance. Copy editors are required to be competent, reliable and good at following instructions. How can you be sure that all these qualities are present when you hire freelance copy editors? And why not just take on agency workers instead of freelance copy editors?
First of all, let's deal with the reasons why you might be wary of hiring freelance copy editors. It's fair to say that, in many situations, you won't be able to confirm that they have the skills and experience they say they do. But at EditFast, the freelance copy editors in the database have already been tested. Their experience is easy for you to investigate. When you're choosing EditFast freelance copy editors you can see recommendations from their previous clients which confirm their abilities.
When you hire ordinary agency workers, you'll often find that work is restricted to set periods and that a limited number of specialties are available. By contrast, freelance copy editors are much more likely to be willing to work unsociable hours and give priority to those projects which you must have ready for tight deadlines. Freelance copy editors are also more flexible in their approach to work and can accommodate your specific needs. And the EditFast database makes it easy for you to find freelance copy editors with special skills and expertise which make them perfect for the work you need done.
