    A6 The most surprising thing about freelance editing for me was the profit margins... I had almost no expenses or fixed costs at the start. But it costs 💰 to scale up. If I had it to do again, I'd keep fixed costs/expenses as low as possible for as long as possible.

    Q6 For the veteran freelancers out there, what is the most surprising thing you learned about starting an editorial freelancing business? And what would you do differently if you could start again today?
