Edit Boost Podcast
Are you an editor wanting to grow your business?
The Edit Boost Podcast is for you.
A podcast for editors in business
As a coach I help people to solve their business challenges in a way that works for their particular circumstances.
Each of us is different. There is no one-size-fits-all solution.
However, I know many of us, as business owners, are encountering common problems. When we do, it can really help to know we're not the only one dealing with a sticky situation, or fighting to get some clarity among the overwhelm.
Stuck on an issue that is blocking your business growth? It can really help to give that issue some airtime and get a fresh perspective.
I invite you to ask me your most difficult business question and I'll answer it on my Edit Boost Podcast.
This is a chance for you to be bold and ask for help. And you can do so, knowing that your question is going to help others in your shoes. We all have so many lessons to experience in this business "journey", and everyone is learning along the way.
So, send me your question via this form below and you might hear me answer it on the Podcast. If you're selected to feature on a Podcast episode, I'll also give a plug for your business!
I'm looking forward to helping you boost your editing income.
If you want to continue the conversation, join my free Facebook group, the Edit Boost Community. There are more than 700 editors in this group, all of whom want to grow their business and support other editors doing the same.
A rising tide raises all boats. I want editors to work together to raise the profile of our profession. I'd love for you to join us.

What others have said about the chance to pick my brain
I’ve just finished a one-hour Pick Your Brain session with Malini to talk about my editing business. I expected to get some helpful perspective on the anxieties that are keeping me from getting my business to where I want it to be—and Malini did give me that perspective—but more than that, I came away from the session with at least three concrete new programs to implement in my business over the next weeks, months, and years. The session was worth every penny, not only for the confidence and peace of mind it gave me, but also for the new sources of income I’m going to be able to generate now. I will certainly come to Malini again when I need another boost for my editing business!
