<li>Certificate in copyediting from an accredited program</li>
<li>Minimum 3-5 years professional copyediting experience</li>
<li>Experience working with nonfiction and academic manuscripts, e.g., academic books, museum exhibition catalogues, and trade nonfiction publications</li>
<li>Knowledge of the conventions and processes of the publishing industry</li>
<li>Expertise in the Chicago Manual of Style (18th ed.) or APA style, including reference citations; online access to these databases is a must</li>
<li>Technical skills in editing and commenting on manuscripts using Microsoft Word&rsquo;s track changes, as well as the ability to use a style sheet</li>
<li>Technical skills in proofreading manuscripts using Adobe Acrobat, including the Commenting features</li>
<li>Ability to work under pressure and time constraints</li>
<li>Excellent communication skills and enthusiasm to join a growing team</li>
</ul>
Hours and compensation: We need editors with regular availability who are willing to take projects that come in last minute. Rates vary depending on the length and difficulty of the project, but typically range from $0.02-0.03 per word.
