How to Find Ebook Writing and Editing Jobs

This particular ebook was inspired by a post I wrote on InkwellEdiorial.com, my freelance writing blog, entitled 10 Types of Digital Freelance Writing Jobs: They’re "Hot" and They Pay Well (full post is pasted within).

This entry sparked a lot of interest from readers. For example, one commentor wrote:

Great post Yuwanda! Lots of good ideas to expand our reach, and a couple I had not considered, like ebook editing and writing special reports. Any thoughts on what type of marketing works best to find people who need this service?
###

As self-publishing is growing, I foresee a need for ebook writing services growing right along with it. And this type of editorial work can pay very well. Proof?

The least amount I’ve earned from an ebook writing / editing project is probably around $300. The most is around $1,600 for a 10-page ebook on social media for a client.

I’ve given out ebook estimates for as much as $5,000; most of my estimates have fallen in the $1,000 to $3,000 range for ebooks that are anywhere from 5 to 40 pages long.

As you can see, ebook writing can be very lucrative. Hence, I thought I’d share my experiences and thoughts on how to go about finding this type of work.

Following is a complete Table of Contents.
