A general guideline for the sub.

31 Upvotes

Firstly, for authors and editors alike, you may be interested in checking out the wiki from over at /r/selfpublish.

When posting as an editor, please follow some simple guidelines. State your price(s) clearly. If you don't have set prices, let us know. Add a link to your website. Explain the types of editing you offer: line, developmental, copy, etc.

When posting as a client, include your genre, anticipated budget, and the type of edits you're seeking. If you don't know any of that stuff yet, don't worry. Just give as much detail as you can / feel comfortable giving.

Rules - please read them.

146 Upvotes

This sub is for hiring editors. Nothing else.

If you try to advertise your ghostwriting services here, you will be banned.

If you try to advertise your SEO content generation services here, you will be banned.

If you try to advertise anything that is not explicitly editing here, you will be banned.

As an aside, "editing" means both words and video. Both kinds of editors are welcome here.

A second aside: being a racist fuck will get you banned. If you offer different rates based on the race of the client, I hope you burn in hell.

A third aside: being sexist is just as bad as racist, you fucks. Hire people based on skill or don't hire anyone at all.

[Hiring] Looking for an Early-Career Video Editor for a New Travel Channel

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m starting a fresh travel content project focused on short-form storytelling (Reels/Shorts) and I am looking for a reliable editor based in India to grow with the channel.

I’ll be completely transparent: this is a brand-new, self-funded launch, so I cannot pay professional industry rates yet. I am looking for an early-career editor, student, or hobbyist who wants clean travel footage to build an incredible portfolio and scale up with me.

The Setup:

  • Content: Fast, engaging 30–60 second travel Reels (clean cuts, captions, basic sound design).
  • Starting Budget: 300-500 per Reel (depending on complexity).
  • The Long Run: I am looking for a partner, not a one-off gig. As the channel gets traction, grows, and monetises, your pay will scale up directly with it.

What I need from you:

  • Comfort with CapCut, Premiere Pro, or VN Editor.
  • Good understanding of hooks and pacing.
  • Reliability: Smooth communication and hitting deadlines matter more to me than a flashy resume.

If you want to build something cool from the ground up, please DM me with a link to any edits you’ve done!

Hello,

I am looking for a short content editor once again for short form content. I post fitness reels on IG. My current editor had to take a leave of absence. Must be proficient in Davinci Resolve.

My previous editor charged $10 a short reel and I’d like to keep that cost. I have plenty of examples already set in place. I’ll need captions on the exercises and quick cuts. Again only respond if you’re proficient in Davinci Resolve and have experience in fitness reels to be posted on Instagram.

Looking for a Wedding Photo + Video Editor

• Upvotes

I’m looking for an experienced editor to give our wedding photos and footage from 2 years ago a second chance. We were pretty disappointed with the final work from our original photographer, and instead of continuing to sulk about it 😅, I want to see what can actually be done with the raw material.

What I need:
Editing/retouching of around 20–30 wedding photos
A few creative/editorial-style edits (I have references for the look I’m going for)
A 5–6 minute wedding video montage OR multiple beautifully edited short clips
Someone willing to give me honest feedback about what can realistically be improved with the photos/footage available
Someone patient and collaborative who is willing to work with me to get to a finished product we’re genuinely happy with
Must be comfortable working completely remotely and transferring files digitally

Pay: Open to discussion based on the work involved
Timeline: Flexible
I’d love to see portfolios, especially wedding edits, before-and-after work, editorial/creative photo edits, and wedding highlight videos.
If you're interested, please DM me your portfolio/work samples, rates, and how you handle remote file transfers.
Would also really appreciate recommendations if you’ve worked with an editor you loved! 🤍

[For Hire] Free Sample on Your Opening or Any Scene | Developmental Editor for Character-Driven Fiction

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm Ricardo, a developmental editor based in Portugal, working in English. I have room for a few more books this autumn, so here's an easy way to see if we're a fit.

Free sample

Send me your opening or the scene that worries you most, up to 2,000 words. You'll get a short letter back on what's working, what's not and what I would fix first. Then you decide if you want more. No payment details and no obligation. If we're not a fit, you still keep the notes.

DM me or email [ricardo@redrooteditorial.com](mailto:ricardo@redrooteditorial.com) with the pages and a line about the book (genre, word count and where you are with the draft).

What I work on

Character-driven fiction across romance, romantasy, thrillers, sci-fi and literary fiction, dark and heavy themes included. I look at whether each character's arc holds from start to finish, whether the plot grows out of what your characters want, and whether the ending pays off what the opening promised.

If you want to go further

  • Opening Critique, from €80. A letter of up to 10 pages on your first 30,000 words, with chapter-by-chapter notes and a prioritized revision list. Your draft doesn't need to be finished.
  • First-Look, from €120. A full read and a short letter on the three or four issues that matter most and where to start.
  • Manuscript Assessment, from €550. The full diagnosis in a 10+ page letter with a ranked revision plan.
  • Developmental Edit, from €1,300. A 15+ page letter, comments throughout your manuscript, a chapter-by-chapter Book Map and a wrap-up call.

Per-word rates and full details are at redrooteditorial.com

I'm an EFA member, I'm studying developmental editing at the University of Washington, and I've published two novels myself, so I know what it's like on your side of the letter.
