English proofreading / rewriting jobs in Japan
July 2010
We're looking for experienced editors, proofreaders and rewriters of English to register as available for freelance assignments. The work involves ongoing proofreading / editing from home - no commuting is required.
Specifically, we're looking for the following:
- Native speaker of English
- Experience of proofreading, editing and rewriting English produced by Japanese authors
- Availability/flexibility - ideally full-time freelancers (not suitable for those in full-time or significant employment elsewhere)
- Current residence in Japan - a knowledge of Japanese culture/everyday life is important.
- A Japanese bank account for payment
- A visa status that allows freelance work
How to apply for registration as an available proofreader
Send your English resume with a cover email (also in English) outlining how your background matches the above criteria. Please also indicate:
- The exact type of visa you hold and its date of expiry
- Your daytime availability
As all work is sent and returned by email rather than requiring a physical presence, there is no interview process. Selected applicants will be invited to complete a short trial document.
