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

Although I’m a proofreader who prefers short texts, I can help you find book proofreading jobs you can do from home to satisfy your desire to work on lengthy documents.

You can find at-home book proofreading jobs by searching job boards with remote listings. You can also apply to work for online proofreading and editing companies that offer services to authors. Finally, providing proofreading services on freelance platforms is another option.

Let’s look at popular ways of finding book proofreading gigs you can do from home. Then we’ll explore other strategies for landing this kind of work.

Offer Book Proofreading Services on Freelance Platforms

Freelance platforms are full of clients looking to hire competent proofreaders to polish their book manuscripts.

I assume you’re a qualified proofreader who has already received the training you need.

In case you haven’t, I wrote an article comparing four excellent online proofreading courses .

If you’re ready to provide book proofreading services, freelance platforms can be a great place to get started.

The advantage of providing services on these platforms is that they advertise your services and process payments.

The downside is that the marketplaces take a cut of your pay (usually 10%–20%), and you face high competition.

You’ll need a winning strategy to get your first few orders from clients.

If you’re interested in working on one of these platforms, I’ve written an in-depth article discussing how to get your first few jobs on Fiverr . Even though this article is for folks selling on Fiverr, many of the tips will work on any freelancing platform.

Top-Notch Tip: To attract clients, you’ll need to price your services low in the beginning. You can increase your prices after you’ve gotten some positive reviews.

On each of these marketplaces, you’ll need to set up a profile (it’s free) to let clients know who you are and what you can do for them.

You’ll then need to write proposals (sales pitches) to the clients who post jobs you’d like to take on.

The exception to this rule is with Fiverr. Generally, buyers on Fiverr will come to you and order your services if they like your profile.

Let’s take a peek at the platforms!

Fiverr is where I got my proofreading career off the ground. Although the pay tends to be low, it’s an ideal place to start practicing newly acquired skills. I especially appreciate that you’re not required to send proposals to clients.

You may want to check out this platform even if you’re not a newbie. They offer a Fiverr Pro program for those with extensive experience and stellar skills. They only accept 1% of all applicants, but if you think you’ve got what it takes, why not give it a shot?  

If you want to be proactive in getting jobs on Fiverr, they have a “Buyer Requests” section where you can send a proposal to a customer if you want to work on the project they posted.

Fiverr keeps 20% of all your earnings.

Requirements: Fiverr isn’t selective. You don’t have to apply to be a seller on Fiverr unless you want to get into the Pro program.

Availability: An abundance of clients go to Fiverr to find someone to proofread their book.

Upwork is another well-known marketplace.

This platform takes 10% of what you earn.

Requirements: Upwork isn’t selective.

Availability: Many authors go to Upwork to find a proofreader.

Top-Notch Tip: To have the best shot at scoring jobs, create a complete profile, and showcase your portfolio if you have one. Having a portfolio will help buyers to trust you as a seller. Also, remember to keep your proposals short, sweet, and tailored to the job offer.

Freelancer is another popular platform.

The platform keeps 10% of what you earn for hourly projects and 10% or $5 (whichever is greater) for fixed-price projects.

Requirements: Freelancer isn’t selective.

Availability: Lots of jobs are posted for book proofreaders.

Guru isn’t as well known as the previous platforms I mentioned, but it’s still a viable option. Many clients come to Guru searching for programmers and developers, but some customers look for editorial services.

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

They offer a basic plan for free; the other options are paid. To see what you get with each plan, please click here .

Requirements: Guru is not selective.

Availability: You can find book proofreading jobs on this platform under Guru’s “Writing & Translation” category.

Keep in mind you can create profiles on more than one of these marketplaces if you don’t find sufficient work on just one.

PeoplePerHour

Finally, we have PeoplePerHour.

Sellers on this platform can send 15 proposals to clients per month for free. You have the option to purchase “credits” if you’d like to send more than 15 proposals in one month. Unused credits roll over monthly.

PeoplePerHour takes a percentage of what you earn based on your lifetime billings with each client. Here’s the breakdown of the percentages:

Requirements: Although the website doesn’t mention specific requirements, you must apply and be approved to join this platform. Here’s the link if you’d like to apply.

Availability: You’ll find fewer jobs proofreading books on this site than on Fiverr, Upwork, or Freelancer. But I think it’s still worth a try since it’s a relatively prominent platform.

Hubstaff Talent

Hubstaff Talent is a freelance platform where you can create a profile and upload your résumé. This marketplace has a big perk: it doesn’t charge buyers or sellers any fees.

“Hubstaff Talent does not take any commission fees and is 100% free of charge.”  – Hubstaff Talent

Requirements:  You need to submit your profile for approval, which typically takes about two business days. This  article from Hubstaff Talent  will show you how to create a profile.

Availability: Not many jobs for proofreaders have been posted lately. However, many freelancers on Hubstaff only provide proofreading services, so I assume you can find relevant jobs occasionally.

Find Jobs Working on Books and Novels via Online Companies

Another way to connect with authors who need a pair of eagle eyes to polish their manuscripts is to become a proofreader for an online proofreading and editing company that works with authors.

These proofreading and editing services hire a pool of freelancers to do the work their clients request.

Some companies hire a small pool of workers, meaning freelancers will likely have consistent work.

However, other businesses hire so many workers that freelancers can’t get enough work.

Of course, if you’re looking for jobs proofreading books, you’ll want to target businesses that work with authors—not all do.

Below is a list of leading online proofreading and editing businesses that collaborate with authors.

However, depending on the company, they may work with authors frequently or sporadically.

If you’d like to be a freelance proofreader for one of these businesses, I recommend contacting them to see if they currently deal with a lot of authors.  

Since some proofreaders acquire copyediting skills, I’ll list three businesses that hire copy editors (but not proofreaders) to work on books.

These companies will have a (CE) after their name, so you’ll know the difference.

Here are the online proofreading and editing businesses organized by the experience level you need to work for them.

Locate Book Proofreading Gigs on Job Boards

Job boards can be a great place to find proofreading work, but it can be hit or miss when looking specifically for jobs proofreading books.

My best advice to make the most of these job boards is to check them often.

Although the boards listed below (except for FlexJobs) post many in-house positions, you can find work-from-home jobs by typing “remote” into the job location search bar.

Let’s check out the job boards.

FlexJobs is the best job board to find book proofreading jobs, but it comes with a cost.

They charge a fee to use their board because they employ a team of experts to continuously search for the best remote and flexible work opportunities. Furthermore, their team screens all companies and jobs to make sure they’re legit.

Here are the fees they charge based on how long you subscribe to their website.

FlexJobs Subscription Fees

FlexJobs has earned an A+ rating by the BBB, and they give their customers a satisfaction guarantee:

“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

Glassdoor is a good site to look for jobs and an even better place to see how people rate working at various companies. Reading freelancers’ reviews can give you valuable insights into key aspects of working for a particular business, including work/life balance, compensation and benefits, and senior management.

Indeed was established in 2004. After creating an account, you can upload your résumé to this job site.

SimplyHired

You can upload your résumé on SimplyHired once you have an account.

Media Bistro

You can sometimes find proofreading work on MediaBistro. Like other similar sites, you must establish an account before uploading your résumé.

Google Jobs Results

Although this isn’t a job board, it’s worth mentioning.

By “Google jobs results,” I’m referring to a job list generated by Google when you search in a specific way.

To see the jobs, first type a keyword into Google.

Below, I searched for “manuscript proofreader jobs.”

Other Ways to Land Book Proofreading Jobs from Home

You’ll have a more successful job search if you use a pinch of extra effort, a sprinkle of creativity, and think outside the box—or just step out of the box to begin with. 😊

Here are more ways to increase your chances of securing a job. Wouldn’t you rather have multiple possibilities to choose from instead of being forced to take the job you found but didn’t really want ?

Network with Other Proofreaders and Writers

Networking may not be everyone’s favorite task, but it’s worth it! Networking doesn’t have to be tiring and painful; you can do it from home.

A little effort can go a long way. Try joining Facebook and LinkedIn groups for proofreaders and writers.

Networking on Facebook

Facebook has a group called Transcribing, Editing & Proofreading Services with about 35,000 members.

Members can post a question about finding jobs or search the group for helpful advice.

You can find several other similar groups too.

Networking on LinkedIn

LinkedIn is another prime place for networking.

The site has a group called Editing and Proofreading with about 5,000 members.

If you prefer a smaller group, you may want to try the Freelance Writing and Proofreading Group, which has about 2,000 members. The purpose of this group is to connect writers and proofreaders. Since writers need proofreaders, I think this group would be a solid bet.

Another first-rate feature of LinkedIn is that you can make your profile searchable to hiring managers and recruiters.

Finally, LinkedIn has a job board where you can search for remote work.

Establish Your Own Online Proofreading Business

Part of forming your own proofreading business involves building a website.

Having a site makes you look more professional since it shows you’re serious about what you do. If you distribute business cards, you can list your web address on them.

Your site will help potential clients get to know you better and trust you more.

Your website can include details about you, your company, and your services, how much you charge, client testimonials, and how to contact you. I wrote an article about resources for creating a proofreading website if you’d like to check it out. It teaches you about what you need to start building your site.

Ask Local Publishers about Work-from-Home Opportunities

Since getting a job with a big-name publishing company is quite difficult, you can start with a local publisher. The competition for work at a local publisher will likely still be high, but not as high.

Depending on the publisher, they may allow you to work from home.  

Cold Email Potential Clients

Although you may feel iffy about this tactic, people still use it because it can work. This strategy allows you to handpick your clients. If you’ve found an author who writes in a genre that piques your interest, you could pitch your services to them.

With a sincere, tactful, and to-the-point email, you can connect with them through a common interest.

You can let them know how much you love their writing and what you have to offer. Even if this doesn’t result in a job offer, you could end up with a valuable business relationship.

Join Your National Editorial Association

This is another option, but it’s not free. The cost to join this type of association depends on your location. Joining one of these organizations typically gives you access to unique educational and networking opportunities.

You’ll find highly experienced editorial professionals in these associations, so you can get support and advice from the best in the business.

These organizations generally have a member directory that lists your name, contact information, and relevant training/experience. You’ll have an advantage since some authors use these directories to post jobs and find qualified professionals.  

Consider Having Luck through Word of Mouth

Be vocal about being a book proofreader to friends, family, and anyone else who will listen! 😉

You never know when you’ll meet someone who is writing a book or knows someone who is writing one. Even a casual conversation with your hairdresser or dental hygienist could lead to an unexpected opportunity!

Look for Information on Quora and Reddit

Quora and Reddit are social media platforms for exchanging information and ideas. Users can find suggestions for how to land proofreading jobs. Some people even use these sites to promote their business, but they have to adhere to the community rules.

I hope this article has given you helpful steps to find book proofreading jobs you can do from home, sweet home! I’ll be cheering for you as you land those jobs and make those books the best they can be!

I wrote an article about other legitimate proofreading jobs online if you’d like to discover more opportunities to offer your hawkeyed help.

Best wishes to you!

How do I become a freelance proofreader without a degree?

You probably noticed that many of the proofreading jobs above require their editors and proofreaders have a degree or even a master’s or PhD! So it is even possible to become a proofreader without a degree?

Yes, you don’t need to have a degree to start your own proofreading business. You can market your business to get your own clients without relying on proofreading companies. 

When you work with proofreading agencies, they keep a percentage of the profits—sometimes even as much as 50%! Getting your own clients means that you get to keep all the money for the project (minus transaction fees). 

Start Your Own Proofreading Business

The first step to starting your own proofreading business is making sure that you have the appropriate skills and resources. 

One course that I have personally taken and can recommend is Proofread Anywhere’s  General Proofreading: Theory and Practice course . It includes lots of worksheets and essays so you can practice your proofreading skills as well as an entire module dedicated to teaching you how to market your business to get clients.

***Proofread Anywhere is 70% off until August 10 with the code FLASH70!***

Sign up for a  free Intro to Proofreading workshop  to learn how you can become a proofreader. 

Once you have the appropriate training, you need to gather your resources including a laptop/desktop computer, editing software, and  proofreading books and style guides . 

For more details on starting a proofreading business from home, check out my post about  how to become a proofreader without any experience . 

Can you make money proofreading?

One of the most common questions I get asked about working as a proofreader online is “Can you make money proofreading?” The answer is YES! You won’t become a millionaire by proofreading, but you can make a decent living. 

According to ZipRecruiter, a freelance proofreader in the United States can earn an  average of $51,391 per year  or $22/hour (as at August 11, 2020).

Caitlin Pyle of Proofread Anywhere  earned $43,000 a year as a part-time proofreader!

How much should I charge for proofreading per hour?

How much you can charge for proofreading depends on many factors. If you work for a proofreading agency, it will decide how much you will be paid. However, if you start your own proofreading business, you can set your own rates.

Proofreaders can charge per word, per page, per hour, or per project. It depends on the type of document you’re working on. 

Some editorial associations publish median rates that they have compiled by surveying their members. According to the  Editorial Freelancers Association  (EFA), proofreaders can charge between $0.02 and $0.03 per word or between $40 and $50 per hour for proofreading nonfiction (as of January 2024). 

The  Chartered Institute of Editors and Proofreaders  (CIEP) suggests a minimum hourly rate for proofreading of £29.85, and a minimum hourly rate of £34.70 for copyediting (as of March 2024).  

I cover how much proofreaders make in more detail in this post.

7 Legitimate Work from Home Proofreading Jobs

Do typos, dangling modifiers or missing commas jump out at you whenever you scan a passage of text?

Simply can’t resist the urge to pick that magical red pen every time you read a misspelled word?

If this is you, then you might have what it takes to work from home as a proofreader. But hold your horses . 

Proofreading isn’t a task that just anyone looking to make a few extra coins can do.  

Contrary to public opinion, it requires a deep understanding of different styles of grammar. And dare we say even up to two years experience.

Alina J am es , a professional journalist, has plenty to say about this.

“Nowadays it’s a common misconception that if you read and have great spelling, you’re ready for a job as a proofreader. They’re hired by publishers, newspapers and other places that rely on perfect grammar in printing.  Typically, proofreaders will receive copy and note any changes needed for writers, typists or editors to change. Proofreaders need to make sure every comma is in place and every word is spelled correctly. There are also people who can mess up a sentence such that the meaning changes. I’d say that proofreading is a good profession for people who’ve completed their bachelor’s degree”

Publishing copy-editor/proofreader

A thorough knowledge of spelling and grammar is essential in the world of publishing as is the ability to work to tight deadlines

As a copy-editor or proofreader you'll ensure that material is clear, consistent, complete and credible, and that text is well written, grammatically correct and accessible. You'll take the initial material, or the copy, and prepare it for the next or final stage before publication.

You'll work on a range of publications, including:

• other electronic resources.

You'll be required to check content, use consistent styles and reword or rewrite (copy-editing), and correct spelling, grammar and layout (proofreading). This depends on the project, the employer or the client and your own specialist experience. Many copy-editors/proofreaders perform both functions in tandem.

You may be employed by publishers, businesses and public bodies but mostly on a freelance basis, so it's common to have several clients at the same time. Many people retrain for editorial work as a second or third career.

Responsibilities

Activities depend on experience and whether you work in-house or freelance. In general as a copy-editor/proofreader, you'll need to:

• correct spelling mistakes and grammatical errors
• sub-edit text written by a number of authors to ensure consistent house style
• work with IT-based publishing systems and databases, as well as via the internet or from paper manuscripts
• liaise regularly with authors and publishers by phone and email
• check that authors have provided all the required materials and paperwork
• resolve queries directly with the author, such as style and text inconsistencies
• code manuscripts for design features, such as hierarchy of headings, to instruct the production team
• ensure that illustrations are correctly captioned and referred to in the text
• produce or work to a style checklist to ensure consistency in hyphenation, capitalisation, formatting of references, etc
• maintain awareness of new words or phrases coming into popular usage with a view to ensuring they're appropriate for the readership
• discuss and resolve any potentially libellous sections or problematic language with the commissioning editor and author
• prepare preliminary pages for the title, contents and preface of a publication
• ensure that publications are prepared on budget and to schedule
• manage marketing and business activities (for those who are self-employed).

Some freelance editors may also carry out typesetting work, or design layouts although this isn’t as common as the above tasks.

Salaries vary widely according to the nature of the work and the employer or client. Larger corporate publishers generally pay higher rates than traditional publishers.

• The Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading publishes suggested minimum hourly rates every year. The rates for 2023 were £28.65 an hour for proofreading, £33.30 for copy-editing.
• Substantial editing or rewriting pays around £38.30 an hour.
• Rates for the project management of the entire process of editing from first manuscripts through to production are usually much higher than for copy-editing, at over £40 per hour.

Some clients pay freelancers a flat rate per piece of work.

Income figures are intended as a guide only.

Working hours

Working hours vary. Copy-editors based in-house generally work normal office hours but may need to work longer hours in busy periods. Deadlines are very tight due to the nature of the work.

Freelancers enjoy greater flexibility, as long as deadlines are met, although night-time work may be required if dealing with overseas clients.

What to expect

• Publishers are based in towns and cities throughout the UK, although there are higher numbers in London, the South East and Edinburgh. Geographical proximity to publishers is not always relevant. Freelancers, for example, can receive work from all over the UK and overseas.
• Getting freelance work can be challenging, particularly at the start of your career. Freelancers who progress from working in-house for publishers to independent work may find the transition easier, having built up useful contacts and gained support from more experienced colleagues. As a freelancer, you may also need to familiarise yourself with self-employment and running your own business.
• Working from home on a freelance basis in a job where most contact with others is by phone or email can leave you feeling isolated. On the flip side, benefits of working from home include a high level of control over your environment and greater flexibility in working hours. Some freelancers work in cooperatives or for agencies to increase their personal support network.
• Some freelancers report that finding work has become more challenging in recent years, as clients may use generative AI instead of paying for a professional service.
• Absence from home overnight and overseas work or travel is rare.

Qualifications

Although this area of work is open to all graduates, a degree in the following subjects may increase your chances:

• media or electronic media
• publishing or publishing studies.

However, copy-editors and proofreaders often draw on their own knowledge from academic study. Graduates with a technical or science-based degree may find it easier to obtain freelance work for specialist publishers and society journals, particularly in the early stages of their career.

Entry with an HND or foundation degree only is unlikely, unless you can demonstrate an aptitude for the work or some highly relevant experience.

A relevant postgraduate qualification in publishing can increase your chances. There is a range of publishing qualifications available and it's important to choose one that is relevant to your interests and career plans. To see what's on offer, search for postgraduate courses in publishing .

Competition in the publishing industry is fierce, and graduates hoping to enter this career may find it difficult to gain an in-house role immediately. It may, however, be possible to start as an editorial assistant and to get involved in proofreading and working on editing texts, in order to progress to copy-editing after one or two years.

Identify smaller and perhaps less well-known publishers to begin with who may be more likely, or able, to offer work. This can help develop a network of contacts and will enable you to build up a strong portfolio when making applications to larger companies later on.

Generally, the way to get freelance work is by sending a CV and speculative application directly to potential employers. Take a look in appropriate directories, for example the CIEP directory , to make and maintain contacts. Attend trade fairs, read trade publications and get to know the key players in the field. Also, try to focus on a particular specialist area, as this will help you identify companies and publishers to target.

It's also advisable to get involved with relevant professional organisations such as:

• Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP)
• Publishers Association (PA)
• The Society of Young Publishers (SYP)
• Women in Publishing

You'll need to show evidence of the following:

• a thorough knowledge of the English language (or the language the publication is written in)
• a methodical working style
• concentration, accuracy and great attention to detail
• the ability to multitask
• tact and diplomacy for negotiating changes with authors
• the ability to work to tight deadlines
• self-motivation

If you are working on a self-employed basis, you will be running your own business, so business skills in areas such as tax, marketing and cash flow are vital.

Work experience

Pre-entry experience is advisable, preferably within a publishing environment. Gaining experience directly in an editorial role may be difficult.

Try to find work on university magazines, websites or publications or spend some time working in a bookshop or library. Think of creative ways to gain the relevant experience of editing and proofreading as early as possible.

The vast majority of copy-editors and proofreaders are self-employed and work on a freelance basis. There is a limited number of in-house positions, particularly with very large publishers, and competition can be fierce.

Employers within the book publishing sector include companies that produce general or consumer books. These include best-selling fiction and non-fiction. However, it's more difficult to obtain editing work in fiction. Other areas are more likely to provide work, such as:

• children's books
• educational publications
• reference works
• scientific, medical and technical publications
• academic publications.

The market in corporate publishing is developing. Large, commercial organisations produce their own staff magazines, newsletters and publicity materials and may employ freelancers for all, or part, of the production process.

Look for job vacancies at:

• BookCareers
• The Bookseller: Jobs in Books
• Publishing Scotland
• The Society of Young Publishers (SYP) - vacancies are available for members to view.

You can also look to the national press, such as Guardian Jobs, for opportunities.

Specialist recruitment agencies tend to advertise senior-level vacancies. For example, see:

• Career Moves
• Inspired Selection
• Redwood Publishing Recruitment
• Think Selection

Professional development

If based in-house you're likely to undergo some basic training while working, which usually includes shadowing and receiving support from more experienced colleagues.

A variety of training courses are provided by professional organisations, such as:

• Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP)
• Imago Training
• The Publishing Training Centre (PTC)

Technical skills are a key part of this career and need to be updated on an ongoing basis, particularly in response to developments in technology. These organisations provide a range of technical courses, available on a seminar or distance-learning basis, covering areas such as:

• copy-editing and on-screen editing skills
• editing an in-house production.

CIEP also provides courses on developing a successful career as a freelancer and offers several levels of membership: entry-level, intermediate, professional and advanced professional.

There are a variety of courses so it is important to be selective and strategic in your choice.

Career prospects

You'll generally begin by editing text at a fairly basic level before progressing to more complex editing and restructuring, which is more highly paid.

With experience, freelance copy-editors and proofreaders begin to focus on a preferred area of work and on a particular subject area, such as science, medicine or food writing.

It's also possible to move into a project management role if you're working freelance or a managing/desk editor role if you're based in-house. These roles involve managing a publication over a longer period of time and subcontracting or allocating work to copy-editors and indexers. Within the largest publishing houses this can be a natural progression, though it is not always the chosen route. Other experienced copy-editors have progressed into offering a complete package of editing, typesetting and on-screen layout.

If working in-house as a copy-editor you'll move between jobs frequently during the early years of your career to develop the widest range of experience and contacts. This is especially important for those considering freelance work in the future.

Whichever route you take, it's advisable to join either CIEP or SYP. Membership offers support and opportunities for professional networking in what can often be an isolated role, such as CIEP's local groups which meet up regularly.

Making and maintaining contacts in the industry is vital for developing a successful career as a copy-editor or proofreader. While well-targeted speculative applications may lead to work, being known to editors and commissioning editors within publishing companies is an equally common way of securing work and moving up the career ladder.

26 Easy Proofreading Jobs Online (NO Experience Needed)

By: Author Mitch Glass

Posted on Last updated: December 14, 2023

Online proofreading jobs come with many perks — especially for all you grammar snobs out there.

You can work:

✔️ Wherever you want (one of the best jobs for digital nomads ) ✔️ Whenever you want ✔️ As much (or as little) as you want.

And the pay isn’t too shabby either. 

There’s just one problem:

Experience.

Many work-from-home proofreading jobs ask for loads of it, which begs the question…

Is it possible to find proofreading jobs online with no experience?

You bet it is.

Here’s exactly how to do it.

Table of Contents

What is a proofreader?

Who uses proofreaders, is it hard to get proofreading jobs from home with no experience, freelance proofreading vs. freelancing writing: which is better, how to find proofreading jobs online (no experience), 1. polished paper, 2. edit my english, 3. other companies to find entry-level proofreading jobs online (no experience), “recommended” proofreading companies that do not actually hire proofreaders without experience, 2. flexjobs, 3. other job boards to find proofreading jobs for beginners, facebook groups to find proofreading jobs online without experience, how to become a proofreader online, step-by-step, frequently asked questions.

A proofreader is an expert at correcting written language. They’re the ones tearing apart documents in red pen, hunting for mistakes, grammar mishaps, and formatting issues. 

Proofreaders are often confused with copy editors. Proofreaders focus on grammar, spelling, and formatting — the objective stuff. Editors, on the other hand, also scrutinize the structure, flow, and accuracy of the writing.

As a proofreader, you can work as a generalist or specialize in certain niches. 

You might feel like niching down will limit your number of potential clients. But specializing in one area — like medical, legal, or academic papers — can often make it easier to land work. 

Becoming an expert in certain proofreading niches can also lead to higher-paying jobs.

Proofreading is similar to transcription and scoping. Before diving headfirst into the world of proofreading, it’s worth investigating transcriptionist jobs and scopist jobs as well. 

Proofreading is a big deal for companies. If they publish content with errors, they instantly lose credibility with potential customers. 

Because of this, many do not trust software to catch mistakes for them. They want a second set of human eyeballs. 

Some examples of people who hire proofreaders include:

• Authors (books, magazines, newspapers, etc.) 
• Businesses (brand content, manuals, reports, etc.)
• Brands on social media
• Bloggers and content writers
• Marketing companies
• Entrepreneurs writing website copy
• Job seekers writing resumes and cover letters
• Academics publishing studies and research papers

Work-from-home proofreading jobs are flexible and low-stress, but is it really possible to start with no experience?

Of course it is. Every successful proofreader had no experience at one point.

The trick is finding ways to build that experience. The more you have, the easier it gets to find work. 

That said, there is a difference between no experience and no skills. 

To get proofreading jobs, you need to actually know how to proofread. 

That means memorizing spelling and grammar rules like the back of your hand. This is the hardest part. 

But if you learned it once upon a time in elementary school, you can learn it again. 

Just grab an English proofreading book , start studying, and — when you’ve mastered the skills — search for freelance proofreading jobs from home using the strategies below. 

If you want to cut down on the learning curve and start earning faster, you can also take an online proofreading course . 

That said, before paying for anything, it’s a good idea to take this free proofreading class . It’ll help you decide if proofreading is really for you, then show you tricks for attracting your first clients.

I’ve dug through various proofreading courses, so before pulling your wallet, check out my reviews to choose the best one.

• Proofread Anywhere review
• Knowadays review

If you decide proofreading is not for you, don’t fret. There are plenty of awesome freelance job options for beginners . 

If it is for you, here’s everything you need to know. 

How much do proofreaders make an hour?

According to salary data collected by Indeed, the average proofreader in the United States earns roughly $25 per hour (or almost $60,000 per year).

As a proofreading beginner, your rates depend on the quality of your clients and your work speed. 

You’ll likely have to work up to that $25-per-hour rate, but it’s doable. 

The maximum pay for freelance proofreaders is generally less than for freelance writers. 

This is because a good freelance writer is much harder to replace than a good proofreader. 

In a way, proofreading is easier than writing because you don’t have to “create” anything. All you have to do is modify what someone else already created. 

If you’re number one priority is a high income, look into freelance writing. 

I’ve personally made as much as $100/hour (after years of experience), so I can attest to the income potential.

I even made a free course to help you earn your first $1,000 as a freelance writer.

Learn the simple step-by-step process I used to easily land my first freelance clients and build a business I can run while traveling the world.

By signing up, you'll also be added to my legendary email list and receive exclusive travel lifesyle tips I don't share anywhere else. 

That said, if the idea of staring at a blank page sounds daunting to you, then writing might not be your jam.

In that case, proofreading is an awesome option — here’s how to find proofreading jobs online.

There’s more than one way to find proofreading jobs online with no experience.

You can either work for a proofreading agency that sends you work and acts as a “middleman” between you and clients. Or you can use job boards and other resources to find and work with clients directly. 

Both options are viable ways to get proofreading jobs from home fast, but let’s start with proofreading agencies. 

Companies that hire proofreaders

If you don’t want to do the grunt work of finding clients on your own, you can join a proofreading company that finds work for you. 

Since you’re essentially working with a middleman, your rates won’t be quite as high. But if you consider the time you save searching for clients (time you’re not paid for), then it may work out in your favor. 

There’s a handful of companies that hire proofreaders with no experience, which makes it a great place to find entry-level proofreading jobs online.

But wait — do you need qualifications to be a proofreader online? 

Some companies may not require previous experience, but they do require a college degree of some sort. (Those are usually the academic proofreading jobs.)

Here’s a list of companies to find proofreading jobs for beginners.

Polished Paper is an awesome company for work-at-home proofreading jobs. They offer proofreading and editing services to clients who need a second set of eyes on:

✔️ Novels ✔️ Blog entries ✔️ Screenplays ✔️ Dissertations ✔️ Journal articles ✔️ Application essays ✔️ Personal statements  ✔️ Business documents ✔️ Resumes/cover letters

Their website doesn’t say anything requiring prior experience. But you will need to pass a 35-question test that shows you know your stuff. 

Edit My English is another online proofreader job that doesn’t require experience.

To proofread for Edit My English, you must be a U.S. citizen and have a degree from a U.S.-based university. 

All editors set their own hours, typically from 10 to 40 hours per week. You earn per page and receive 60% of the client payment. The faster you work, the higher your hourly rate.

There’s a whole slew of proofreading companies that don’t require experience.

To start your job search, check out:

• Kibin . A proofreading company that specializes in academic editing. Kibin needs freelance proofreaders who can offer fast, overnight turnaround times. You must pass a grammar/editing test to be approved. (Note: Kibin mentions that they hire “experienced editors” on their editor’s page, but experience is not mentioned as a requirement on their application page).
• Gramlee . A proofreading company for editing dissertations, copywriting, and other documents. Prior experience is not specified as a requirement.

Many articles online recommend proofreading companies to new proofreaders looking for jobs without experience. 

The problem is, most of the companies they recommend actually DO require experience. Some don’t even offer proofreading services at all!

That’s annoying. And it can end up wasting loads of your time.

To avoid that, here’s a list of recommended proofreading companies that require experience. 

Most of them do not specify how much proofreading experience you need, so feel free to check them out anyway if you have a little experience.

Note: You can save these as potential companies to work for in the future. Just not as your very first job.

• Sibia Proofreading . Proofreading company for fiction manuscripts, job applications, business memos, and doctoral dissertations. 
• Proofreading Pal . Proofreading services for authors, students, businesses, resumes, cover letters, etc.
• Proofreading Services . Proofreading company with 10K+ clients in over 100 countries.
• Edit Fast . Proofreading company for any type of document.
• Words RU . Proofreading company for any type of document. 
• Reedsy . Proofreading for fiction and non-fiction books.
• Wordvice . Proofreading for academic documents written by students, researchers, and business professionals.
• Proofreading.org/Cambridge Proofreading . UK-based company that hires US and UK editors. Purely academic proofreading. Several years of experience is required, plus a college degree and subject matter expertise. 
• Scribbr . Proofreading services for essays, theses, dissertations, etc. Must be a native English speaker with at least a bachelor’s degree, work a minimum of 10 hours a week, and have previous experience proofreading academic texts.
• Scribendi . Proofreading services for academics/students, authors, businesses, and individuals (resumes, cover letters, etc.). 3+ years of experience required in editing, writing, document production, or language-teaching, and an average proofreading speed of 1,000-1,500 words per hour to apply. 
• Quality Proofreading . Proofreading services for students, businesses, and individuals (resumes, cover letters, etc.). Must have an advanced degree from a UK/US institution and 3+ years of proofreading experience.
• Proofread Now . Offers proofreading services in both English and Spanish. “Rigorous” testing is required. 
• Wordy . Hires both editors and proofreaders, but the hiring process is temporarily paused. 

Finally, these companies are commonly recommended to new proofreaders, but in reality, they’re not actually proofreading companies:

• Lifetips. A site where you can share tips and knowledge on various topics.
• Kirkus. A book review company.
• Scribe Media (AKA Book in a Box). A publisher and coach for novelists.
• Babbletype. A translation and transcription service
• Domainite. An editing company (different skill set than proofreading).
• Cactus Global. An editing company (different skill set than proofreading).
• Jobsforeditors.com. An editing company (different skill set than proofreading).

Alrighty, now that we have those time-wasters out of the way, let’s dive into some job boards for proofreaders. 

Job boards to find proofreading jobs from home (no experience) 

Some of these job boards are specific for proofreaders. But most of them are general freelance marketplaces where you can search for proofreading gigs.

On these marketplaces, each job listing has its own specific experience requirements. Some require it; others don’t. Before applying, read each description carefully. 

Upwork is one of the most popular job boards to find online proofreading jobs – or any freelance jobs, for that matter. 

Upwork was originally formed in 2015 after Elance and O-Desk merged. 

Upwork has job postings for nearly every type of freelancing service, including graphic designers, IT specialists, writers, and you guessed it — proofreaders.

Clients post jobs in the marketplace, then freelancers compete against each other to win the job. 

The platform is known to be a bit oversaturated, so you’ll have to decide if Upwork is worth it to you or not. 

It’s full of opportunity, but also competition. Some people have made $10K/mo and even six-figure salaries on Upwork alone. 

Upwork takes a 20% cut of your pay until you make $500. After that, the fee lowers to 10%. 

Flexjobs is a curated job board specifically for remote and flexible online jobs — including proofreading jobs for beginners.

The nice thing about Flexjobs is that all the job postings on Flexjobs are reviewed by editors to catch scams and sketchy-looking ads.

Flexjobs charges a small monthly fee to use the platform, but you can request a refund if you’re not satisfied (like if you don’t find a job). 

That said, you can see all the proofreading job listings for free . Just type it into the search bar. 

Many listings on these job boards require no experience, but some opportunities do require experience.

• Problogger . Writing and editing jobs.
• Fiverr . Freelance opportunities, including proofreading and editing.
• Freelancer . Freelance opportunities, including proofreading and editing.
• LinkedIn . World’s largest business social site where you can connect with potential employers in your industry.
• Remote.co . Remote job listings in many different fields, including proofreading and editing.
• Indeed.com . Job board for all types of jobs, including remote proofreading and editing opportunities.
• Guru . Freelance opportunities, including proofreading and editing.
• People Per Hour . Freelance opportunities, including proofreading and editing.
• MediaBistro . Editing, proofreading, copywriting, graphic design, and other creative jobs.
• WritingJobz . Writing-related job opportunities, including editing and proofreading.
• The Editorial Freelancers Association . Matches businesses with proofreaders, editors, and writers.
• Kelly Services . Job board for a variety of industries, including proofreading and editing positions.
• Virtual Vocations . Job board for specific remote work niches, including editing and proofreading.

Recommended job boards that do not offer proofreading jobs online

Just like with the “proofreading companies” we covered that aren’t actually proofreading companies, there are also job boards that some sites recommend that don’t actually have proofreading jobs. 

• Lionbridge . Translation and interpretation services only.
• Toogit . Job board that does not have proofreading or editing job postings.

Facebook groups are always a great place to find legitimate proofreading jobs online. 

You can either post your offer and wait for opportunities to come your way, or you can search for clients searching for help. 

It’s worth hanging around the following groups to see if you attract some clients:

• Proofreaders Group . Proofreaders trading tips and news, as well as a place where clients come to find proofreading services.
• Beta Reading/Editing/Proofreading . Independent authors, blog writers, and artists post job opportunities for proofreading services.
• Proofreader Needed Today (general proofreaders and editors) . For proofreaders/editors to post their services and writers to post proofreading job opportunities.
• Binders Full of Remote Proofreading and Editing Jobs . A group where members can share proofreading and editing job opportunities.
• Freelance Content Writers, Content Editor, Proofreader & Digital Marketers . Group to offer job opportunities to content writers, digital marketers, editors, and proofreaders.
• Proofreading and Editing Services . Members can either post job opportunities or request them.
• Transcribing, Editing & Proofreading Services. Find or post job opportunities for transcribing, editing, and proofreading.

Remember, the goal isn’t to spam these groups with your services — that won’t fly.

Instead, interact with the group, help people, build relationships, and mention that you are a freelance proofreader. 

Alrighty, now that I’ve firehosed you with information. Let’s revamp how to become a proofreader online, step by step.

• Commit. Take this free course to be 100% sure proofreading is right for you (and learn how to grab your first clients). 
• Master your grammar. Pick up some proofreading books on Amazon or sign up for an online course.
• Build a minimal portfolio. Do a couple free or cheap projects for people in your network, or create sample projects of your own. You can showcase these in a nicely formatted Google doc, or create a simple website. 
• Cast your lines. Treat finding your first clients like a full-time job. Cast your line in all the places mentioned in this guide.

Once you find your first proofreading clients, give them amazing service, then ask for testimonials and referrals.

The bigger you build your portfolio, reputation, and network, the easier it gets to fill your pipeline with work.

Proofreading is a perfect job for students, especially because the rules of grammar are fresh in your mind. Freelance proofreading is also flexible, so you can work around your school schedule. When freelancing, there is no need to share how young you are unless a client asks. 

Proofreading doesn’t require experience, but the more experience you have, the easier it is to find work. Everyone starts somewhere, and the most important thing is having the skills to be a proofreader. Your main goal is to prove to clients that you can complete the job. 

You do not need any special qualifications to be a proofreader, but if you are specialized in certain areas, it may help you find jobs. A proofreading portfolio showcasing your skills can be more convincing to clients than qualifications that they probably have never heard of. 

The key to becoming a skilled proofreader is practice. The more you proofread, the easier it is to spot mistakes. The easier it is to spot mistakes, the faster you finish projects. And the faster you finish projects, the more you can earn per hour.
