SD/PEN Looks at How to Set Rates and Bid on Projects
Two challenges that freelance editors continually face are setting (or raising) their rates and bidding on projects.

Three experienced editors—Linda Wood, owner and president of The Woods Publishing Group, and SD/PEN members Katie Spiller and Preston Hathaway—will share their approach to bidding on a variety of editing projects at the San Diego Professional Editors Network meeting Wednesday, May 21, at 6:30 p.m. in the Clairemont Community Room, 4731 Clairemont Drive, San Diego.

The meeting is free and open to the public. For more information, please call (858) 451-3266 or visit www.sdpen.com.

Watch for the Guild booth at the San Diego Children's Book Festival on May 4th. For more information go here: San Diego Public Library Children's Book Festival
