Please take our two-part multiple-choice grammar and comprehension assessment at https://forms.gle/37J3ALG6gSvo... to be considered for this role.

Compose.ly is looking for awesome editors who love digital content as much as we do! We need you to edit and deliver consistent, high-quality content across industries for a variety of clients (including Fortune 500 companies) by editing at least 10,000 words a week.

Note that several of our clients, including the one mentioned above, add author bylines to these articles. Please apply only if that works for you.

Also, note that we are currently in a ramp-up period, meaning we’re onboarding several new writers and editors to our community in anticipation of an increased number of projects. If you are onboarded to our editor team successfully, please know that project availability might feel a bit slim as you first get started, but it will increase as we head into the new year.

  • Working from anywhere. This position is fully freelance.
  • Getting consistent work. We provide the content, so you can focus on what you do best.
  • Earning as much as you want. As a Compose.ly editor, you'll earn US$0.02/word on projects that range from 500 to 4000+ words.
  • Becoming part of a large community. Does freelancing sometimes feel like it’s just you against the world? At Compose.ly, you’ll work with a team to ensure every project goes off without a hitch.
  • Having a dedicated Community Coordinator. We’ll answer any editing questions you have and help you navigate writer communication.

This role is for you if you…

  • Are a flexible, experienced editor capable of tackling a wide array of topics
  • Are familiar with SEO
  • Are detail-oriented and take pride in your work
  • Know the difference between “editing” and “rewriting”

  • A degree in English, Linguistics, Journalism, or other relevant fields
  • Extensive editing experience

Responsibilities

  • Rework, edit, and/or proof blog articles, white papers, web copy, and more across industries
  • Manage multiple client projects at a time including corresponding with individual writers
  • Use Compose.ly platform to track, organize, and upload projects
  • Request revisions and coordinate client-requested revisions with writers
  • Provide a rating and constructive feedback to writers
  • Stay up to date with the latest trends in SEO and content marketing
