Why Choose The Editing Academy?

After Brie Greenhalgh launched her own freelance editing business, she saw a huge gap in the market for an affordable course that actually taught the right skills to help you earn more money. Editing Made Easy is the solution.

  • You want to stand out. There are too many proofreaders in the market who need more grammar skills than they realize if they want to earn more than $4k/month.

  • You want the most bang for your buck. No other course offers certification for both proofreading and copyediting PLUS industry info, business launching strategies, and insider advice at this price!

  • You get the advice and strategies that Brie used to replace her income within 4 months before landing even higher-paying opportunities at 8-figure companies.

Why Students Love Editing Made Easy

Don't trust me. Trust our satisfied students!

“Editing Made Easy has given me the confidence and skills to start working as a freelance copyeditor. The course is well-paced, and there were plenty of opportunities to hone my newly acquired skills as I worked through the practice essays. I’ve taken a few other courses in editing but, upon completing them, have never felt very confident in my abilities. With the help from the section on setting up your own business, I finally feel ready to go it alone. Thank you so much. This course is worth every penny—and then some.”

Debbie Jacobs

“After taking a different online proofreading course and some online grammar classes, I did not feel prepared to work with clients. The Editing Made Easy course breaks down the many parts and rules of copyediting and proofreading and presents them through videos that provide both auditory and visual learning backed up by concrete examples of the many rules of the Chicago Manual of Style guide. By the time I got to the practice section, I felt prepared to both complete these exercises and take on my first copyediting job! ”

Kim Hillman

“I really enjoyed this course and learned a lot about proofreading and copyediting and starting my own business. As you go through the course, you can tell Brie really knows her stuff. She will mention tidbits of information that will save you a lot of time and frustration. This information alone is worth the cost of the course.”
