Remote English Proofreader
Description
Remote English Proofreader
Can your keen eye catch what spellcheck misses? Ours can too. That’s why we’re searching for someone who doesn’t just correct grammar but elevates meaning. If polishing language to perfection from the comfort of your home sounds like more than a job—but a calling—this might be exactly where you belong.
Make Every Word Count
You won’t just be reviewing documents. You’ll be the invisible force behind clear ideas and confident voices. Whether it’s a product launch email or a thought-leadership article, your edits will help professionals sound their best, every time. You’ll shape tone, rhythm, and nuance so every message connects as intended.
What You'll Contribute
- Ensure that written materials read smoothly and naturally, with grammar, punctuation, and syntax that feel authentic to the audience.
- Transform rough drafts into polished narratives that convey clarity and confidence.
- Suggest improvements that enhance tone, flow, and precision—never just pointing out what's "wrong."
- Partner with authors and editorial teammates to enhance everything from internal documents to published blogs.
- Guard your brand voice across channels, adapting your proofreading style to suit the purpose and platform.
- Turn last-minute drafts into final products under tight deadlines, without compromising quality.
- Offer constructive feedback that empowers writers, rather than correcting for the sake of correction.
Your work will help ensure that our readers never stumble on awkward phrasing or inconsistent tone. Instead, they’ll absorb every idea with ease—and remember it.
Tools That Power Your Process
You’ll have access to the tech you need to work efficiently and intuitively. Our remote proofreading team leans on collaborative platforms like Google Docs and Slack for real-time feedback and version control. You'll also use Grammarly, PerfectIt, and internal style guides to catch details others miss—and bring consistency to everything we produce.
Where You’ll Work (Remotely)
We believe great work can happen anywhere. That’s why this proofreading position is 100% remote. Whether you're based in a quiet countryside cottage or your favorite urban café, you’ll have the flexibility to create your best work without sacrificing personal time or space. Our asynchronous workflows and focus on deep work mean you'll rarely be pulled into meetings that don’t matter. Instead, we trust you to manage your focus time and deliver with care.
What We Value in You
- You simplify complex ideas—whether it’s over Zoom or in tracked changes.
- You spot inconsistencies from a mile away and fix them with grace.
- You understand that proofreading isn’t about perfectionism; it’s about communication.
- You treat language as a living thing, adapting tone and structure for its intended audience.
- You collaborate well across writing, editorial, and design teams, even when you’ve never met face-to-face.
You’ll thrive in this role if you have experience editing across multiple formats: marketing copy, editorial articles, business communications, and even technical documentation. While formal education is respected, what matters most is your command of English and your love for the subtle art of refinement.
The Real Story: What It Feels Like to Work Here
One of our proofreaders recently shared, "The most rewarding part is knowing my edits let others be heard more clearly. I’m not changing their ideas—I’m helping those ideas land exactly how they intend."
That’s the kind of pride we want you to feel. Our team is small, but mighty. We support each other, share tricky grammar debates for fun, and celebrate the wins—like when a piece gets published without a single correction.
Compensation and Support
This full-time remote proofreading role offers an annual salary of $57,520, along with opportunities for performance-based growth. We invest in your development with access to editing certifications, learning stipends, and editorial workshops. You'll also receive the tools and subscriptions necessary to do your best work, stress-free.
