A personal PR firm is seeking skilled, detailed editors experienced in editing web copy in U.S. English. This is a remote contract position with flexible hours. We utilize our team of editors on an ongoing basis so this is not a one-time project.
As an editor, you will work directly with the firm's team of editors and writers on polishing professional biographies for executives and high-profile clients.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate the ability to catch minute grammatical errors as well as possess excellent editorial skills. As an important gatekeeper of quality, candidates will edit content for organization, language and word choice, tone, quality of content, length, spelling, punctuation, and syntax. All candidates must possess a proficiency in The Chicago Manual of Style and MS Word. Experience editing finance, legal, or medical copy is a plus.
JOB DETAILS:
- You will edit biographies and articles and ensure the resulting copy is accurate and of good quality.
- Source data will be provided, so you will not be required to research each person or business when fact-checking a biography.
- You will be paid a set rate of $3.00 per biography or article. Typical content length for biographies and articles is 150 words each.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Experience editing professionally is preferred, but we will also consider current or recently graduated college students.
- Proficiency with The Chicago Manual of Style and MS Word.
- You can be based anywhere in the world, but you must have a good command of the English language.
- Willingness to submit an email address and be added to our common platform for communication purposes.
- Willing to take a test article before hiring
- Agency contractors will not be considered at this time.

I have been doing this for the last 18 years to near-complete satisfaction and with several outstanding successes as well. During this period I have had occasion to edit web copy using Macromedia Dreamweaver with the client expressing satisfaction on each such occasion.
I am a published author of English fiction and currently have a novel under consideration with a reputed agent. I have two degrees in literature: a) a Master's in Comparative Literature from Jadavpur University which has been consistently ranked in the top 5 of all Indian institutions of higher learning; b) a 3rd cycle doctorate from the University of Paris 7 where, in 1991 I defended a thesis on the work of Samuel Beckett. I have also worked as a senior journalist with two of India's outstanding English dailies published from Calcutta (capital of the Empire until 1911). English is my first language and I speak it at home with my sisters.
I would be glad to submit to any test you would be willing to take for seeing my skills.
I usually follow the Chicago Manuel of Style where the client so requires, as she did for my first assignment as a book editor.
Hi! I am very interested in your project. My native language is Latvian, but I fluenty speak English, therefore, I don’t think there would be any problem! By the way, I am practising everyday, since 2018, to write in English in different genres of language (scientist, basic and even late 50s Englsih)
I have completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Editing and Electronic Publishing, as well as a Masters of Education. I have excellent English skills, and will complete a spelling, punctuation and grammar edit on your website, as well as fact checking, and a structural edit (to see if your content makes sense, and amending if it doesn't).
I have held professional editing positions within a number of companies and excelled in these roles.
I am familiar with the Chicago Manual of Style, using it when editing to ensure consistency and accuracy.
I am more than willing to take a test article prior to hiring. My native language is English. I look forward to hearing from you!
*Note - please ignore the amount above, I am happy to stick to $3 per biography as per your wishes.
Upon review of your posting for a new Proofreader to join your editorial team, I hastened to submit the enclosed resume for your consideration. As an accomplished and focused professional with a meticulous attention to detail coupled with extensive experience proofreading a variety of publications and communication vehicles to ensure grammatically flawless content, I feel confident that I could vastly exceed your expectations for this role.
I may be a beginner in this domain but i will do my best .
