I'm an editor for a publishing company, a freelance editor, and a writer looking to get published. </p> <p>How did you find your job? I've been writing seriously (with the intent to submit a manuscript to literary agents within a set amount of time) since last summer. I found my editing job through the online writing community. I'm just getting started with freelancing. </p> <p>Approx. how many hours per week do you work? It can range from 20 - 50 hrs, depending on how many book projects I'm juggling.</p> <p>How is the pay? Do you receive any benefits (EX: health insurance)? Payment with my current company is royalty based. I receive a fixed percentage of every book sale where I was the editor. I don't have any benefits at this point. </p> <p>Do you like being a WAHM? I don't have to chase kids yet, but I love being at home and managing my own time. It's fantastic! I really hated doing the 9-5 grind. Now I have the freedom (and support from DH) to pursue my publishing dreams. I don't make much money yet, but I have the potential to make a lot more than I would if I was locked into a salary. And I don't need to take a work hiatus for kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wahm-whats-your-job#post-140834 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:09:17 +0000 KonaK 140834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First of all, I apologize if there's already a post asking this question! I did a search, but didn't find anything...</p> <p>It seems like there are quite a few WAHMs on Hellobee. It sounds like such an ideal work situation, but I don't know much about how to look for such a position. </p> <p>For WAHMs, I'm curious:<br /> - What type of work do you do?<br /> - How did you find your job?<br /> - Approx. how many hours per week do you work?<br /> - How is the pay? Do you receive any benefits (EX: health insurance)?<br /> - Do you like being a WAHM? </p>
