Seeking professional Native English editors and proofreaders

Closed Posted 6 years ago Paid on delivery
Closed Paid on delivery

I run an editing and proofreading agency and am dealing with high volumes of work. I am seeking to add 5-6 people to my team for a long-term collaboration.

Seeking qualified editing and proofreaders for a range of different types of English documents. Have a large volume of college application essays and statements of purpose, so am particularly interested in candidates who have done this type of work in the past.

Must-haves:

• Hands-on editors and proofreaders. Our team members are required to edit customer’s documents and fix mistakes for them, not merely point out where there are errors.

• Can-do attitude and a willingness to go the extra mile. Some orders are really quick and easy; others may take much more time. We need people who will try their best to help all our customers express themselves well. This is how we have established our reputation and continue to attract new customers through word of mouth:

Happy customers = more orders = more work for you

• Availability to work weekends.

• Native English speaker with a minimum of a degree in your subject of expertise.

Nice to haves:

• Experience editing statement of purposes, personal statements, or other application essays.

• Rewriting and paraphrasing skills.

• Knowledge of both UK and US English conventions.

• Membership of a professional proofreading or editing organization.

• Previous experience working for a reputable online editing and proofreading services provider.

• In-depth knowledge of one or more style guides (e.g., Chicago Manual of Style, Turabian, APA).

Rates vary from 0.015 USD per word for basic proofreading through to 0.045 USD per word for substantive editing and rewriting.
