Native English Editor for Education Magazine

Education Edit is an international editorial publication focused on the human side of schools. The writing is long-form, with a precise, controlled tone. We need a native English editor to review a 10-page teaser (media kit). The text is already strong. What it needs is a careful edit to make sure the phrasing feels natural and consistent, and that nothing reads as slightly off. This is an editorial edit, not a rewrite. Turnaround is 48 hours. Please include your quote for this task. There is potential for ongoing work as the publication develops. We are looking for someone with strong editorial judgement, someone who knows when to change a sentence and when to leave it alone. Journalism or magazine experience preferred.

Education Edit focuses on people: the teachers making decisions in difficult rooms, the leaders navigating what no manual covers, and the moments that shape students and staff but never appear in official reports. To apply, send a short note on how you approach editing, your quote for the first task, and your edited version of the paragraph above with brief comments.

Proof read business/self-help manuscript

I'm looking for an experienced freelance editor and proofreader with subject matter expertise (SME) in financial markets to work on my business/self-help manuscript.

Quality is my priority, and I'm happy to discuss the budget with the right candidate. Looking forward to finding a true professional who brings both editorial and financial expertise to this project.
