How to become a remote book editor?

The qualifications needed to start a career as a remote book editor depend on your employer, clients, and the type of books with which you wish to work. You may want to pursue a degree in literature, creative writing, journalism, or a related subject. An editor must have strong writing skills and understand the finer points of structure, rhetoric, and tone, in addition to having a thorough understanding of the wider market with which the book will compete. If you work as a copy editor, you may need to pass an editing test. Editors who work with content suggestions may want to create a portfolio of past work highlighting the books they have helped publish.
