I’ve decided at long last to get serious about this online business I find myself having created. I signed up for a freelancing 101 course with an online editorial association I recently joined and in a few days, they tell me I’ll receive a link to the webinar I just purchased.

To round out my expertise, I earned a copyediting certificate at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon.
