Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this question or if it's been asked already, but I'm having a hard time finding this exact situation in search.
I've been an in-house copyeditor for almost 15 years now, mostly dealing with technology research and B2B stuff. I'm thinking about going freelance, but I'm not even sure where to start. Yes, I should Google this, but I'm wondering if anybody'd be willing to share their own experiences with this kind of transition. I have a million questions.
Where did you start off finding work? Is it possible to transition from nonfiction to fiction? Can you do both? How did you determine your pricing? Any sites you'd recommend that can help with all this stuff?
Thanks in advance for any and all help!
(Of course now that I've mentioned being a copyeditor, I've probably made a zillion typos in this post.)
