 I came to freelance editing after completing post-doctoral positions at King's College London and Monash University. These early career positions were exciting and edifying and gave me a chance to develop research skills, but we're not ultimately accommodating family obligations. So the major advantage of freelancing, of course, is flexibility of time and place, which is important when you're raising children and supporting a partner, and when you're busy with other projects and opportunities. As a freelancer with Enargo, I've enjoyed an abundance of work and the freedom to choose assignments based on my availability and on my comfort with the subject area. Enargo also creates a sense of inclusion in the company with newsletters, phone calls and invitations to participate in all aspects of the organisation. So as a career option, freelancing has been a reliable job and a reliable source of professional growth in academic writing, science and in the publication industry.
