Proofreaders are on the frontlines of editing. They are charged with reviewing, proofing, and editing written and digital content in fast-paced publishing environments. Proofreaders are natural perfectionists, and their personalities lean towards meticulous and thorough work. Employers across all industries employ proofreaders to ensure that final work product is error-free, consistent, and accurate. Although proofreaders may enjoy some flexibility in their work hours, they are expected to meet tight deadlines and manage multiple projects at any given time, necessitating work on some nights and weekends.
