We are looking for several new volunteer editors to join a remote, creative publishing team. This is a great fit for beginners who love language and want real editing experience.
Editors choose their own hours and workload. Most editors take on at least one piece per issue or help with smaller proofreading and production tasks.
Roles:
– Proofread and copyedit drafts
– Correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, and formatting
– Reformat drafts and prepare work for publication
– Apply a provided house style guide with easy reference documents
– Cross-check edited drafts against final layouts
– Share thoughtful feedback that strengthens a writer’s work while preserving their voice
– Work directly with authors and contributors
Skills/background needed:
– A sharp eye for grammar, language, consistency, and detail
– Comfort with detailed tasks like cross-referencing layouts and drafts
– Clear, reliable communication and self-managed deadlines
– Comfort working remotely and asynchronously
– Curiosity and willingness to learn
– No prior professional experience required; full training and support provided
Senior editors offer guidance throughout, and a team chat app keeps everyone connected. Experience with common online collaboration tools is helpful but not required.
Contract length: Ongoing volunteer role; a six-month commitment is preferred but flexible.
Rate: Competitive entry-level pay, details shared upon application.
Location: Remote work worldwide (United States preferred)
