The role
Nonfiction on history, travel, nature, science and cookbooks lands on your desk project by project: you'd copyedit manuscripts, check geographic and historical facts, keep house style guides current and do the final clean reads of the PDFs. Expect 10 to 20 hours a week at $35 an hour, remote in the US, with no guaranteed hours and tight deadlines on short notice. Five years of copyediting and fluency in the Chicago Manual of Style, 18th edition, are required.
