Work Type: Copyediting and Substantive editing
Description:
We are looking for experienced copy and substantive editors in science and non-science disciplines with a core academic background.
We prefer editor profiles that reflect:
Master's/PhD/postdoctoral research experience (studies conducted, papers written/published, papers reviewed, etc.)
Certificate/experience in academic editing, publishing, scientific communication, journal article writing, etc.
Extensive experience in editing ESL (English as a second language) manuscripts
Knowledge of the style (such as APA, CMS, AMA, CSE, IEEE, etc.) and conventions followed in academic writing
Member of acclaimed editing and publishing associations like EFA, EASE, BELS, etc.
A glimpse at what you would edit:
You will be assigned papers of varying difficulty levels (in terms of English, subject matter expertise, and the 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 the common man trying to communicate in English--from the latest in cutting-edge technology to the timeless fascination with history and arts!
Our freelance editors should ensure:
immaculate grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and word choice
flow, transition, correct terminology, correctness of content, and coherence
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
*Freelance editors also thoroughly format the manuscript as per mentioned journal guidelines when clients opt for our journal formatting service.
We ensure a smooth performance-driven progression curve for our freelance editors with an effective feedback mechanism, which ensures that the expectation mismatch is nearly zero. In the past, the strong professional bonding with our freelance editors has also lead to mutual recommendations--a definite plus factor!
Do drop me a note if you are interested. At the same time, to facilitate the next step of the application, please upload your resume and cover letter at (https://www.enago.com/ssl/editing/recruitment/recruitmentform.htm).
Best Regards,

Magazine asks for submissions
I am not sure it's paid work, but, even if not, great exposure...and great for the portfolio. Michele
We are seeking narratives for a new book by Rethinking Schools. The working title is Rethinking Sexism, Gender, and Sexuality.
We invite you to submit a story that relates to teaching and learning about sexism, gender, and sexuality in K-12 schools. We are particularly interested in articles about classroom teaching, curriculum, and youth activism-in and out of school. Students' voices are important; make sure we can hear them!
In order to include diverse voices, we particularly encourage students and educators of color and folks who work in places that are not often associated with LGBTQ activism such as rural schools and schools in the "heartland," although other submissions will be cheerfully considered.
We hope to address gender and sexuality across the curriculum so teachers and students of all disciplines are encouraged to contribute. Other topics may include education organizing/activism, policy matters, and stories that offer historical perspectives with a connection to the present.
Please remember that Rethinking Schools is not an academic journal. We want the writing to be lively, conversational, and to avoid the kind of needless jargon that infects so much education writing. Please approach it as a narrative with a beginning, middle, and end, filled with anecdotes and the voices of teachers, parents, and/or students. Traditional academic/scholarly articles will not be considered for this book.
The best way to understand what works for Rethinking Schools is to read through several issues of the magazine with an eye to how the authors show specifically what they do in the classroom and how they integrate information about the topic into the article. Specific examples you might want to look at include "It's OK to Be Neither" by Melissa Bollow Tempel and "When the Gender Boxes Don't Fit," by Ericka Sokolower-Shain. As a model of writing for the magazine, see anything by Linda Christensen.
Before you begin writing, check out the writers guidelines.
Please send submissions electronically (Word.doc) to jody@rethinkingschools.org. We are unable to read submissions of more than 4,000 words, and are generally interested in articles that are substantially shorter.
Many of the articles in the book will also appear in Rethinking Schools magazine. The initial submission deadline is January 31, 2013.
If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact Jody Sokolower, managing editor of Rethinking Schools.
