That's good to hear Rebecca, poor lil' guy! Just read through it now and it's understandable your fears being a sole trader.

The advice I would give here is if you can find someone who is willing to take up the mantle at short notice (like a babysitter but a business-sitter!) who can field your emails and being in communication with your clients. The last thing a client wants is for their point of contact to go quiet. Then you can pay them for their time, so you don't have to worry about getting on to your emails!”

 

Thanks, that's not a bad idea. Might be tricky to pay someone if my income has stopped though! I was thinking of partnering unofficially with another proofreader so we could take on urgent or emergency work for each other in the event one of us can't work, but it would take some sorting out as I have a very high standard of work. When my regular work increases, as it's starting to, I will have to look into something.


Rebecca - give me a shout as I work for myself and take on a lot of proofreading work. I have a high standard too and have been known to inform restaurant owners of the 'spellos' in their menus! 

Maybe we could chat about sharing work as and when needed. 


Many thanks,

Thanks! We'll have to have a chat I think. It's hard being a one 'man' band. 

And in other news my son now has the all clear, so is totally well now with no more scans needed at all. Woo!!! 

 

 


That is good news

Agreed - drop me an email (help@whoisnatalie.com) and I will call you for a chat.

And a massive YAY about your son
