Are you a super copy editor?
We’re always looking for highly skilled, professionally trained copy editors and proofreaders.
- This is part-time remote freelance work.
- Work is irregular and depends on our particular needs at any given time.
- The ability to handle same-day rushes is a huge plus for applicants.
Super Copy Editors LLC strongly values diversity and is committed to building a more diverse and culturally inclusive team.
Compensation
There’s a dirty little secret in this industry.
Other, bigger proofreading services—we call them “proofreading mills”—pay their freelancers absurdly low rates. In fact, according to former staff, one of the best-known proofreading companies (with a team of hundreds) pays its editors only around $10 per hour, as of 2023.
At Super Copy Editors, we believe all members of our small but mighty freelance team deserve to be fairly compensated for their skill and expertise. Fortunately, as a boutique agency based in New York City, we can offer much better pay than those proofreading mills. However, this means we are extremely selective when it comes to adding members to our team. To put it another way, we want the best of the best.
With that said, we encourage you to apply today if you think you have what it takes to help our clients’ writing shine brilliantly.
Requirements
- College degree
- Authorized to work in the United States
