  • You have at least a 4-year degree in linguistics, English, Spanish, journalism, or in a related field.
  • You are disciplined and a motivated professional who is eager to learn and thrive while working on deadline.
  • You like to read a lot, and when you're done you like to read some more.
  • You can write an interesting cover letter which specifically addresses many of these points.
  • You have started to notice the writing and editing missteps in this job post and will confidently produce a revised tracked changes version that is included with a cover letter.

  • Consult and collaborate (20%):

    • Provide thoughtful suggestions to authors and other editors for substantive changes
