This article may contain affiliate links. Please see our affiliate disclaimer in the footer menu for more information. Thank you for your support!

With so many online editing jobs available, how do you know which ones are ideal for you? In this article, I’ll break down the options for editing jobs based on where to find them and who they suit in terms of experience—beginner, experienced, or expert.

The jobs in this article are targeted at developmental editors. However, you’ll qualify for some of these jobs as a line editor.

These are not suitable jobs for proofreaders or copy editors, though.

Om Proofreading Picks for Online Editing Work

These are my choices for the best jobs for freelance editors.

What Is Editing?

Editing involves making substantial changes to a piece of writing. Developmental and line editors are tasked with making these major changes.

Developmental editing involves improving the overall content and structure of writing.

Line editing enhances a document’s language, logical flow, and readability.

Copy editors are also editors; however, they make changes on a smaller scale.

My Research Process for Developing This Job List

If you’ve ever looked for editing jobs, you know the words proofreading and editing are sometimes used interchangeably, even though they aren’t synonymous.

Therefore, I’ve talked to customer service reps, sent emails, and filled out contact forms to ensure these jobs are for editors, not proofreaders.

I want to give you options that accurately reflect what you’re looking for to save you time.

Top-Notch Tip:  Read every job description carefully to know exactly what the position entails.

How The List Is Organized

I’ve listed the jobs according to where you can find them:

• Freelance Platforms
• Job Boards with Remote Work Listings
• Online Proofreading and Editing Companies

The  online proofreading and editing companies  are further organized according to selectivity—starting with jobs for beginners and ending with ones for experts.

Please visit the sites where you’d like to apply to see the most up-to-date information about job availability.

Notes about Your Role as an Editor

While researching, I noticed that some proofreading and editing services hire editors who are also tasked with proofreading (and everything in between).

I will tell you when I know that the editors hired by a particular business are tasked with the entire editorial process.

I’ll do this by stating that the editors are also responsible for proofreading, meaning they handle line editing and copyediting too.

Online Editing Jobs for Beginners

Let’s start with jobs on freelance marketplaces, which are well-suited to beginners.

FREELANCE PLATFORMS

A simple way to get started as an editor is to set up shop on one or more freelancing platforms.

These online marketplaces serve to connect clients with freelancers.

The disadvantage is that they take a percentage (typically 10%–20%) of your pay for providing these services.

The advantage of these platforms is that they process payments and market your services for you.

You get started by posting a profile (it’s free) to show clients who you are and what you offer.

Then, on all these platforms except Fiverr, you send proposals to clients who have a project you’d like to work on. Getting your first batch of clients is the hardest part of selling your services on freelance marketplaces.

Fiverr is a name you’ve probably heard. But now, sellers offer services that cost well over five dollars. I started my proofreading career on this platform and gained valuable experience. What I love about Fiverr is not having to send proposals, which saves time.

Fiverr takes 20% of your earnings.

Requirements: Not selective

Availability: Many clients are looking for editors. If you’d like help snagging those initial clients, please see my post about succeeding on Fiverr as a seller .

Upwork is another popular freelance platform.

Upwork keeps 10% of your earnings.

Availability: Upwork is full of clients looking for editors.

3) Freelancer

Freelancer is another well-known marketplace for buyers and sellers. Freelancer takes 10% for hourly projects and 10% or $5 (whichever is greater) for fixed-price projects.

Availability: Many clients look for editors on this platform.

Guru is not as well known, but it’s a viable option. Since you can work on more than one platform, feel free to give this one a whirl while trying your luck on one or more others.

Depending on your membership plan, Guru takes 5%–9% of your earnings.

They offer a free basic plan, but other plans require you to fork over some cash. Here’s the link to see what each plan includes.

Availability: Many customers come to Guru looking for developers and programmers, but you’ll still find some editing jobs within Guru’s “Writing & Translation” category.

5) PeoplePerHour

Last, we have PeoplePerHour. They let you send 15 proposals for free each month. If you wish to send more, you can buy “credits.” Unused credits roll over month to month.

PeoplePerHour takes a percentage of what you earn per your lifetime billings with each client. Here are the percentages:

Requirements: Although they don’t mention specific requirements, you need to apply and be approved to work on this site. If you’d like to begin an application, please click here .

Availability: You won’t find as many editing jobs here as on Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer, but it’s still worth a shot.

JOB BOARDS WITH REMOTE WORK OPPORTUNITIES

Checking out job boards is another great way to find editing jobs. Some of these opportunities are beginner friendly, while others require varying degrees of experience.

Except for FlexJobs, many jobs found on these platforms are on-site positions.

However, if you type “remote” into the job location search bar, you can find freelance options.

Below is a list of some of the most well-known job boards in cyberspace.

6) FlexJobs

You can find top-notch opportunities for remote work on this site, but you need to subscribe to access the job list.

Here’s the breakdown of fees based on the subscription period:

FlexJobs has a research team that screens all companies and jobs added to their site to ensure you find legitimate and professional opportunities. The BBB has given them an A+ rating, and they provide a satisfaction guarantee to their subscribers:

“With FlexJobs’ Satisfaction Guarantee, if you are not satisfied with the quality of our service for any reason, simply cancel your subscription and request a refund (by phone, email, or our Client Service virtual chat) within 14 days of account creation or renewal. We will quickly and promptly process your refund.” -FlexJobs

Indeed is a popular board that’s been around since 2004. You can upload your résumé after establishing an account.

8) Glassdoor

Glassdoor is a stellar spot for job hunting and checking out how employees and freelancers rate their employers. The ratings consider factors like compensation, benefits, work/life balance, and senior management.

9) SimplyHired

SimplyHired is another solid site where you can upload your résumé once you have an account.

10) Mediabistro

This website offers various creative jobs, including occasional work for editors. Like several similar sites, you need to create an account before uploading your résumé.

ONLINE EDITING AND PROOFREADING COMPANIES

Here’s a summary of the online editing and proofreading businesses mentioned in this article and the experience level needed to work for each one.

Online Proofreading and Editing Services That Hire Freelance Editors

Many online proofreading and editing services hire freelance editors.

Some businesses hire so many editors that jobs are only available sporadically.

However, other companies provide editors with consistent work since they keep their pool of editors relatively small.

We’ll start with the companies that hire beginners.

11) R3ciprocity

R3ciprocity was designed to provide a space where academics and grad students can give one another feedback on their writing.

You earn credits on R3ciprocity for editing or proofreading other people’s work. You can then use your credits to have someone edit or proofread your work. As the name suggests, the platform operates on the principle of give and take.

Requirements: To become a paid editor, you need to meet R3ciprocity’s quality standards for the test documents.

Availability: To learn about opportunities for paid work, you need to create a profile . The “Contact Us” section of your profile allows you to reach out to the support team.

If you’re new to the editing scene, this could be a wonderful way to hone your skills while helping someone if you’re willing to edit on a volunteer basis.

I’ve corresponded with Dave via email; he’s so nice! Here’s a short video from the site owner, David Maslach, that shows how his site works.

If you pass the exam in both courses with distinction, they’ll invite you to complete a trial period with Proofed. If the trial goes well, you can join their team.

Availability:  They’re seeking editors to join their growing team.

13) Writing Jobz

Writing Jobz hires writers, editors, and proofreaders for a wide range of subjects. I spoke with Madison, one of the Support Wizards (don’t you love that title?).

Madison was so friendly and helpful. Can I recruit her to be a Support Wizard for my personal life, lol?

Requirements: Madison informed me that prior writing or editing experience isn’t necessary to join their team. But to access the jobs on their site, you need to complete the registration form and submit a writing sample. If your writing sample passes the test, you can continue with the application process.

That winds up this extensive list of online editing jobs. Now, let’s get answers to a few common questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can i get online editing work.

Many strategies are available to get online editing work.

I like to compare searching for work to fishing. When “fishing” for jobs, you want several lines in the water to boost your chances of scoring work. But if you cast too many lines, they’ll likely get mixed up and become too difficult to manage.

So try to focus on a few tactics that you think will work best.

Here are some ideas to consider:

1) Establish Your Own Online Editing Business

If you haven’t yet built a website, doing so can help you land jobs. Creating a business requires initiative and shows potential clients you take editing seriously.

On your site, you can talk about your training and display certificates and testimonials.

Having an online company portrays you as a professional and lets you keep everything you earn—no intermediary here!

If you plan to build a website, feel free to look around my site to get a feel for the pages you may want to include. I’m far from a web developer, but checking out my site’s structure may help point you in the right direction. 

2) Create a Profile on LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a networking site for professionals.

When creating your profile, be as detailed as possible to increase your chances of landing a job.

You’ll also want to indicate that you’re open to work so that you appear in recruiters’ and hiring managers’ searches.

3) Network with Editors and Writers

We often forget about the power of networking to connect us with a job. Ideal places for networking include LinkedIn, Facebook, Quora, and Reddit.

These sites have groups for editors and writers where you can meet new people and be in the know about opportunities for editing work.

People will notice if you offer value to these groups by providing advice and insights.

They’ll be more likely to hire you since they’ve seen how helpful you are.

And after you’ve helped others, you can pitch your services if it’s permitted.

4) Cold Email Potential Clients

Although this may seem daunting, it can lead to success with enough perseverance and patience. The advantage of cold emailing is that you’re handpicking your clients.

The opportunities are there for the taking.

Just reach out (with exceptional tact) to those you think you can help the most.

To have the best shot at getting a new gig, write a tailored email highlighting how you can help your potential client.

Also, offering a free or low-cost sample edit is a wonderful way to get the communication going!

Can I work from home as an editor?

Yes, you can work from home as an editor. Many editing jobs are done remotely to save companies the overhead they ordinarily pay to accommodate in-house editors. And if you work for independent authors, you’ll be working remotely.

How much do online editors make?

According to ZipRecruiter , the average yearly salary of online editors in the United States is $51,564 (as of February 2024). This is roughly $25 per hour.

If you’re a beginner editor, your earnings will start  on the low end  of this pay range.

ZipRecruiter gives us more information about how much online editors earn by stating the following:

While ZipRecruiter is seeing annual salaries as high as $104,000 and as low as $20,000, the majority of Online Editor salaries currently range between $35,000 (25th percentile) to $56,500 (75th percentile) with top earners (90th percentile) making $104,000 annually across the United States. – ZipRecruiter

If you’d like to see how pay rates differ for developmental and line editors, you can visit this page on the Editorial Freelancers Association’s website.

I hope this article has helped you discover several freelance editing opportunities that are right up your alley!

I wish you the best as you pursue jobs!

Best wishes to you!
