Description:

Role Overview. The Freelance Proofreader and Fact Checker is an essential part of the creative team at Westfall Gold, a fundraising consultancy for non-profit organizations. The perfect candidate for this role has a deep understanding of the English language, and reveres proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. You also have a willingness to get to know our style, and an ability to accept work from us on an ongoing basis.

  • We will ask you to proofread documents/design material and check facts for projects under 1,500 words within 24 hours.
  • We will ask you to proofread documents/design materials and check facts for projects above 1,500 words in 2-3 days (deadlines will vary depending on scope of project).
    • Fact checking: some projects will require that you have access to a phone (calling a phone number to check that the number we're printing is correct, for example).
    • Media: Some projects will be sent to you as materials you view on your phone (apps, for example). An ability to read a QR code and provide feedback on the content on your phone is necessary.
  • The amount of work we send out will vary. A light week might feature two projects. A busy week might feature ten projects or more.
Requirements:

Qualifications.

Experience

  • 4+ years of experience in a previous proofread or editing role
  • Ability to navigate a deadline-rich environment with multiple projects under competing timelines

We ask that you capture your changes using your own Gmail address, or your own licensed version of Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat (full version; not just the Reader).
  • We will look to you to invoice us on a monthly basis for all projects worked.
