Academic Proofreader and Editor – Remote, No Experience Necessary

Roles: We are looking for a careful proofreader and editor to review short academic essays written by second-language English speakers. Your job is to make each piece clear, smooth, and easy to follow, with ideas that flow in a logical order from start to finish. You will check sentences, paragraphs, and overall structure, and help each essay reach a polished, higher-level standard while keeping the writer’s own voice intact. Full training and guidance are provided, so no prior professional experience is needed.

Rate: Competitive entry-level pay, details shared upon application.

Contract length: Flexible, with an initial small batch of paid sample work before a larger ongoing project.

Skills/background needed: Strong written English and a good eye for detail. You should be able to spot phrasing that is technically correct but sounds like translated English, and rewrite it so it reads naturally. A background in a healthcare-related subject is a plus, but not required. You must do all editing yourself without using AI tools of any kind.

Details: You will review about 10 short essays, each between 150 and 1000 words, with a negotiable turnaround time.

Location: Remote work worldwide (United States preferred)
