Your keen interest and a support to spread news among your network about our freelancing opportunities would be of great help.

Freelance Editors

Freelance editors play a pivotal role in our business model and help us in ensuring author satisfaction by editing academic papers meant for publication in highly acclaimed international journals, across a vast range of subject areas.

 

Enago will ensure

 

v   Possibility of a guaranteed monthly income while freelancing :

Apart from offering work in the typical freelancing manner, we also offer opportunities that guarantee a minimum monthly/annual income, along with the possibility of an additional annual bonus (monetary), based on your performance.

v   A smooth performance-driven progression curve with an effective feedback mechanism :

This ensures that the expectation mismatch is nearly zero. In the past, the strong professional bonding with our freelance editors has also led to mutual recommendations—a definite plus factor! 

v   A rewarding experience, both monetarily and intellectually :

You will get the opportunity to apply your domain knowledge and skills to help non-native authors present their work to the world through esteemed journals and renowned conferences, with the flexibility of timings dedicated to editing.

 

Qualities we look for in our freelance editors

§   Proficiency and competence in the most widely spoken language across the world—English!

§   Knack for diligently editing, restructuring, and polishing articles written by non-native speakers

§   Appropriate manuscript format* that conforms to academic conventions in terms of citation style, layout, section headings, and tense usage

§   Preservation of the author’s intended meaning even in papers where the content requires extensive revision

§   Extensive subject matter expertise

§   Minimum 3 years of relevant copyediting/academic editing experience

* Freelance editors also thoroughly format the manuscript as per mentioned journal guidelines when clients opt for our journal formatting service

 

A glimpse at what you would edit

You will be assigned papers of varying difficulty levels (in terms of English, subject matter expertise, and extent of revision needed) written by non-native speakers in either English or their native language (translated papers). These papers are written by what we believe constitute an eclectic group of authors and writers, i.e., we receive work from not only scientists, researchers, and students but also corporates, linguists, and common man trying to communicate in English—from the latest in cutting-edge technology to the timeless fascination with history and arts!

 

Selection Process

1)       We examine your CV/resume and check whether your overall profile meets our requirements.

2)       We send you a doctored editing sample designed to test your editing skills and subject matter expertise.
