Freelance proofreaders and editors work on novels, non-fiction books, student dissertations, reports, websites and marketing copy. Most work from home for clients they never meet, some in other countries, and price each job by the word, by the hour or as a fixed fee. For long jobs such as a book, many ask for a deposit before starting and the rest before returning the finished file. A payments app that handles quotes, deposits and final payments can win proofreaders and editors, and every writer or business that pays them sees your app.

Take a deposit before work starts
A link sent with the quote lets the client pay a deposit straight away, so the editor can book the job into their diary knowing the client is committed.

Get the balance before files go back
A second link for the balance means the client pays before the finished file is returned, so the editor is not left chasing money afterwards.
Grow through writing businesses
Editors work alongside copywriters, translators and designers, and many writers use several of them. When those businesses take payments through your app, each editor can bring more of them onto it.
