Qualifications:
  • A passion for reading and books
  • Previous experience in copyediting and proofreading
  • Meticulous attention to detail and exemplary organizational skills
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Familiarity with the book production process preferred

  • Capacity to manage multiple (and often competing) deadlines
  • Enthusiasm, humility, self-awareness, and ability to remain calm under pressure
  • Fully skilled in use of Word with Track Changes for copyediting manuscripts
