Job description
Book Editing And Proofreading
British Book Publishers UK has worked with authors since 2012, helping books move from rough manuscripts to polished, readable publications. We are looking for an experienced editor and proofreader to support our affordable book editing and proofreading work across a range of genres. Good writing matters. This role suits someone with a sharp eye, strong language skills, and a genuine interest in helping authors present their work clearly.
As a Book Editor and Proofreader, you will review manuscripts for spelling, grammar, punctuation, clarity, consistency, and overall readability. You will work closely with different types of manuscripts and provide useful editorial feedback while respecting each author's voice. The role involves copy editing, proofreading, checking formatting issues, tracking changes, meeting agreed deadlines, and preparing clean files for the next stage of publication. Attention to small details is essential.
Qualifications- Previous experience in book editing, proofreading, copy editing, or publishing
- Excellent written English and strong knowledge of grammar and punctuation
- Familiarity with UK English spelling and publishing standards
- Ability to spot inconsistencies, errors, repeated content, and formatting issues
- Strong organisational and time-management skills
- Confidence using Microsoft Word and Track Changes
- Ability to manage several manuscripts and meet deadlines
- A degree in English, Publishing, Journalism, Literature, or a related field is preferred but not required
This is a remote opportunity for someone who can work independently and communicate clearly with the British Book Publishers UK team. Experience with fiction, non-fiction, children's books, academic content, or other publishing categories will be useful. We welcome editors and proofreaders who understand the value of affordable book editing and proofreading without lowering the standard of the final manuscript.
