25. How working with an academic editor can help you make time for what matters during your sabbatical

My guest on this episode is Paulina Cossette owner of Acadia Editing. While spending 12 years in academia as a graduate student and tenure-track political science professor, Paulina struggled to find joy while working 7 days a week. She finally found the courage to leave the academy in 2019 and became an academic copy editor. Since then, she has built a thriving six-figure editing and coaching business that allows her to live and work wherever and whenever she wants, take real vacations without any guilt, and collaborate with kind, brilliant clients all over the world. Paulina now shares what she's learned through her digital course and group coaching program, Becoming an Academic Editor. The program teaches burned-out academics how to build a profitable and rewarding academic editing or coaching business so they can have true time freedom and a stable income--without the stress of a toxic work environment.

In this episode, Paulina shares more about what it’s like to work with an academic editor and provides insight into the process of becoming an academic editor if you’re looking to start a side-business or creating a full-time business. If you’re planning a sabbatical (or already on sabbatical), I think you’ll want to seriously consider working with an academic editor after you listen to this episode!
