Chicago, United States GW, Inc. Full time
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionSalary:

GW, a leading publishing vendor, is actively recruiting freelance copyeditors for nursing/medical/health science textbooks.


Assignments are made on a project-by-project basis, and we have a steady flow of new projects all year long. The majority of our work follows AMA style, so we need copyeditors who are reliable, experienced, consistent, and flexible. If that’s you, keep reading


Project schedules vary, but most projects require editing of 100-250 manuscript pages per week (at a speed of at least 10 manuscript pages per hour).


Your main responsibilities would include:

  • Typecoding the manuscript for the compositor
  • Correcting all spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors
  • Editing content to match AMA style
  • Ensuring consistency in word style throughout
  • Cross-checking all table, figure, and box citations against the actual tables, figures, and boxes
  • Ensuring all references (if any) are cited in the text

Qualifications:

  • Experience editing textbooks or journals
  • Strong proficiency in AMA style
  • Robust knowledge of Microsoft Word including familiarity with Track Changes, formatting tables, and application or removal of styles.
  • Strict adherence to meeting or beating deadlines. The editing stage can have enormous impact on the entire production process, and we want to start each project off on the right foot
  • Ability to work efficiently and within a budget. As a vendor, we must work within the confines of our clients' budgets, so being able to work efficiently is key.

 

What next?
