About the role
R.H. Boyd seeks a meticulous Proofreader to ensure editorial accuracy across books, curriculum, marketing collateral, and digital content. You will collaborate with editors, designers, production staff, and authors to deliver polished materials that reflect our brand voice. Ideal candidates have a bachelor's in English or related field, 3+ years of proofreading or copyediting, mastery of Chicago Manual of Style, and strong attention to detail.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
