One of New York’s most prestigious medical centers is in need of a skilled copy editor to join their all-important content team for a major relaunch project. Do you believe copy editing goes beyond just looking for typos, yet have an incredibly sharp eye for spelling and grammatical errors? Can you find all the errors in the copy below? If you can answer “yes” to all these questions, we need your services immediately.

Nitty Gritty

As the copy editor, on this project, you’re going to be a linchpin in this entire initiative. You’ll use your editorial gifts to make sure everything is consistent, clean, and ready for prime time. In addition to your usual copy editing duties, you’ll need to make sure the content is informative and accessible to an audience of medical professionals and information seekers alike from around the web. This means making sure that complicated medical terms are translated into simple language that a general audience can understand.

There’s an internal style guide, but if you’re familiar with the big ones like Chicago and AP, there won’t be any surprises there. You’ll also be juggling several different projects at once, as each makes its way through the system.

Hired Gun Profile

You’re a diligent copy editor with a few years of experience working with medical or health content, with bonus points if you’ve got experience in academia. You’ve got a gift for proofreading, as well as tightening copy when needed. You know how to ensure consistency and adherence to a style guide. You always keep your audience in mind, and you make sure the content you’re working on serves their interests. If it’s too complicated, you simplify. If it’s too heavy, you lighten.

Inside Skinny

This is a gig for a master of managing multiple projects and tight deadlines. And someone who can work quickly without missing even the tinest of typos, just like the one in this sentence.
