Working Globally: What Every Editor Needs to Know About International Clients
Working with international clients can open exciting opportunities—but it also means navigating unfamiliar territory. Different currencies, time zones, payment systems, and cultural expectations can trip up even experienced editors. And when assumptions go unchecked, misunderstandings multiply: a contract that isn’t enforceable, a deadline that meant something different to your client, a payment that never arrives.
This panel brings Erin together with Aalap Trivedi and Janet MacMillan to share what they wish they’d known before taking on their first global client. You’ll learn practical strategies for managing time zones and scheduling across continents, navigating cultural differences in communication and expectations, handling currency conversions and setting fees that protect your income, and choosing payment gateways that actually work across borders.
Whether you’re considering your first international client or want to feel more confident about expanding globally, this session gives you a clear starting point. You’ll leave with actionable guidance you can apply immediately—and the confidence to say yes to that next inquiry from overseas.
