Roles: Review manuscript submissions, work with authors to shape stories from plot and characters to language and rhythm, and edit for clarity, grammar, consistency, and style while preserving each author’s voice. Collaborate with designers on sketches and final art, keep projects moving between editing, design, and marketing, and help prepare title descriptions and other details for sales teams. Manage several projects at once and keep to deadlines.
Rate: Competitive entry-level pay, details shared upon application.
Contract length: Ongoing, with flexible remote hours.
Skills/background needed: A genuine interest in children’s books and a good eye for detail. Strong written communication and the ability to stay organized across multiple projects. Comfortable using word processing software and basic document tools. A degree in English, publishing, education, or a related area is helpful but not required. We provide full training and welcome applicants with no formal editing background.
Location: Remote work worldwide (United States preferred)
