Online Proofreader

 
Background
An online proofreader checks written content for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting errors before it's published. You'll work with documents like websites, emails, articles, and social media posts, reading carefully to catch mistakes that others might miss. Most of the work happens remotely on a computer, and you might work for publishing companies, marketing agencies, or as a freelancer for multiple clients.
