Are you an organized person with experience editing and proofreading documents in Microsoft Office Word?
Do you want to work from home and need a stable job with predictable tasks? Then you might be the person I need…
ABOUT US:
We run a book publishing business.
We find and restore 100+ year-old classic books and republish them on Amazon for readers to enjoy all over the world.
JOB TASKS:
– Your daily task will be to go to a shared spreadsheet, where there will be a list of links to old-book manuscripts.
You must then take each manuscript and format and edit them in Microsoft Word and upload the exported files to a specific folder.
– You will be editing fonts, removing images, formatting headers, etc. You will not have to proofread actual spelling errors etc. The language in the books is old English, so all text should be original.
– There is a very detailed written step-by-step process for how to edit these manuscripts to make sure they have similar designs and layouts. This step-by-step process is pretty easy to follow if you have general Microsoft Word experience.
– Each original manuscript may present unique editing challenges to make it look uniform – so the more diverse editing experience you have, the better.
– You are expected to edit about 2 manuscripts per hour, 8 hours per day. You can listen to music to make the time more enjoyable.
REQUIREMENTS:
– Great attention to detail
(Very important – Amazon Terms of Service have very specific rules about manuscripts that must be followed.)
– Organized
(You will edit about 30 documents per day, so you must be good at keeping files separated in correct folders etc. to avoid mixups)
– Self-motivated (After training you will be working yourself with biweekly check-ins with me the owner)
– Wishes to stay in the job for 1 year or more
– Have a computer with a minimum 1920×1080 (Full HD) resolution AND an external monitor attached
– Have Microsoft Office 2016, 2019, 2021 or 365 installed.
WORK TIME:
– I expect you to work 40 hours per week and that you use Timeproof while working to track your hours.
– You can work whenever you want during the week. However many hours per day you want. Where ever from you want. At night, afternoon, or on the weekends. At home, in a café or on the beach. It does not matter to me, as long as you work 40 hours per week and create about 2-3 metadata/covers per hour.
WHEN APPLYING, MAKE SURE TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS:
– Why do you believe you would be a good fit for the job?
– What is your work history and do you have links for previous related proofreading/editing work?
– What is your age?
– Do you have an external monitor attached to your computer?
– Do you have Microsoft Office 2016, 2019, 2021 or 365 installed?
– Do you have another full-time or part-time job or will this be your only job if you get it?
– How do you feel about the offered salary of $285/m full time 40 hours weekly?
– How long do you plan to stay in the job?
– Can you work 40 hours per week?
– When can you start working full-time?
I look forward to receiving your application letter!
