GW, a leading publishing vendor, is actively recruiting freelance proofreaders for academic and professional journals and books, with a concentration in the health science industries. Freelance proofreading assignments are made on a project-by-project basis, and we have a steady flow of projects all year long. This is an ideal freelance, remote position for applicants who are based in the United States. Project schedules vary, but most projects require proofreading 100-200 pages per week.
