About
<p>In 2019, I was a political science professor who was fed up with the stress and hostility of academia–not to mention the low pay. I left my tenure-track job and went from <em>barely surviving</em> to <em>thriving </em>as a freelance academic editor. Today, I own Acadia Editing Services, an editing and coaching business that brings in six figures a year. </p><br><p>In this podcast, I’ll discuss the challenges of academia, what academic editing involves, and what life as a freelancer looks like. If you’re willing to jump outside your comfort zone, it IS possible to find joy, true flexibility, and a profitable and rewarding career as an academic editor.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
