I absolutely didn't just log into this for the first time after nearly a year, so here goes if the person asking still wants their response:

Freelance editing as any sort of serious career is brutal. Finding work feels like a nearly impossible mission when most companies don't even bother to respond to inquiries. I'd love to offer you tips but at this point, it feels like I need a bunch myself.

Fun fact: Since Ragnarok finished, I haven't taken on any more freelance work with any company as I have simply been unable to convince anyone to hire me lmao. JNC themselves even threw me out the back door for pushing too hard in an attempt to get some new work after being stonewalled on the topic for a couple of years straight—I'd only been allowed to work on Ragnarok as an editor from the day I picked it up and was never offered up-to-date testing material to qualify myself for other projects when new acquisitions came around.

If anyone decent suddenly goes looking for editors, then maybe I'll get to do some more projects again, but at this point, I've all but accepted the career path is over unless I want to work for literal pennies at the lowest tier of companies.
