You can feel unsure of yourself and completely \u2018green\u2019, a newbie. But rarely do we start with a blank slate. We can make use of all of our professional experience and current contacts. Today we\u2019re talking about the situation my guest editor, Andrew, is experiencing. He\u2019s done significant voluntary work as an editor and proofreader immersed in his sporting passion of rugby league. He\u2019s also helped on projects with a basketball-journalist friend.

Despite the feeling that he\u2019s starting from scratch with finding paid editing work, Andrew has plenty to offer. It\u2019s all about positioning himself in the right way to attract his ideal clients.
