Knowadays Success Stories

"One of my favourite things about freelance proofreading is being able to work from home in my pyjamas! How many other jobs let you do that?"

"I’ve not been self-employed before, but I’m quite liking it. I like getting to choose what I will work on and being able to change gears when I want to."

"I still work as an osteopath, but I have the option to proofread whenever I have a free day or half day. It’s a very flexible system in which you are in control of your own availability."

"Day to day, part of the beauty of this work is that my life hasn’t changed a lot. I still have time for my family, but I also get to choose what documents I want to work on each day."

"My hours are flexible and that means I am free to take care of other life issues while working as a proofreader, which is very useful for me."

"I've been able to start working from home as my main source of income, which has always been my goal. I tend to work either on my couch or in a reading nook."

"I was really stuck before. I wanted to do work that I could feel good about at the end of the day. Knowadays have given me that."

"I have gained some valuable experience in editing, which I have used alongside my academic expertise to really advance my writing and editing skills."

"I usually work in coffee shops or at home. But I also value my freedom and independence, so the opportunity to travel while working is something I want to explore."

"Working from home is fantastic. After 15 years doing an hour-plus commute each way to my job, now I’m loving freelance life and I’ve got my evenings back!"

"I’m slowly making the transition from full-time office work to freelance writing and proofreading. So far the change seems to be going well!"

"I’ve been self-employed since 2000 and I love it. This is one of the two most flexible opportunities I’ve had."

"I wanted to brush up on my knowledge of grammar, punctuation, and general writing style for my work. The opportunity to become a part-time freelancer was a bonus, too!"
