Freelance Book Editor

Reedsy

"Four years since I began editing on Reedsy and it has been the greatest gift of my professional career." —Nicole Fegan, editor at Reedsy.

The role

We are seeking experienced editors to join our community of top talent in the publishing industry. Reedsy's vetted group of freelancers have worked with bestselling authors like Stephen King, Suzane Collins (The Hunger Games), E.L. James (Fifty Shades of Grey), or Adam Grant (Originals).

As a Reedsy editor, you will receive requests from authors looking for help at various stages of their writing and publishing journey. You can choose to provide any of the following services you have experience with: editorial assessment, developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading, query letter review, and book coaching.

You will receive requests in your genres of interest (fiction and non-fiction) from authors and decide which ones you'd like to take on. You can set your own rates, workload and working times, so professionals with other streams of work can make freelancing on Reedsy compatible.

Our Selection Requirements Are

• 3+ years of editing experience.
• Experience working with traditional publishers.
• Demonstrated experience on at least 5 published books that are well-reviewed (and available on Amazon, Google Play, or Apple Books).
  
  

Experience working for a renowned publishing company or a history of high-quality work with a bestselling author/book will be positively valued.
