Employer: Scribe Media
Are you a Microsoft Word wizard?
Do you get a thrill when friends and family constantly ask you to look over their emails/resumes/written content before it goes out?
Do you take pride in your attention to detail, especially when it comes to the written word?
If this sounds like you, we’ve got your perfect career.
Let’s make one thing crystal clear: you don’t have to have a career as a Proofreader or Copyeditor to excel in this role.
As QA Editor, you’ll be the glue between the author and the QA team. You’ll have your eyes on manuscripts from some of the world’s top thought leaders, business strategists, celebrities, and all around amazing people. Every time a manuscript changes hands throughout the QA process, it will come back to you first so that you can ensure it is correctly formatted and ready for the next steps. You’ll be juggling lots of different types of tasks every day, including (but not limited to):
- Driving the QA process for award-winning authors
- Formatting manuscripts in Word
- Reviewing and implementing proofreader, copyeditor, and author edits
- Monitoring the quality of work within Scribe’s QA team
- Finalizing manuscripts for layout to ensure consistency and quality
In this role, impeccable attention to detail is key. At any given time you will be the QA Editor on multiple projects at once. You’ll need to manage your time effectively and balance deadlines for each manuscript. We’re also relying on you to review the work of our Copyeditors and Proofreaders, which means you’ll need a keen eye for identifying errors.
If you can nail that, you’re probably pretty awesome, which brings us to an important question:
Who are we and what do we do?
We’re Scribe Media, and our mission is to help everyone on earth write, publish and market their book.
The problem is that writing and publishing books are, for most people, a painful and difficult process, loaded with uncertainty and aggravation. Our goal is to make it as simple as possible, so that as many people as possible can do it.
We have multiple ways we help people do this. We can edit and publish an already written manuscript (Scribe Publishing), or we can help people write their book using a structured process with our guidance (Scribe Guided Author), or we can do a structured interview process that gets the book out of them in their words and their voice (Scribe Professional).
And if you can’t afford our services, that’s fine. We give away all of our information for free. Seriously, it’s called Scribe Book School, and it’s better than any paid course on the internet.
You can see some press about us here.
And you can see some of the books we’ve already published here.
Why our work matters
Our company was started because a frustrated entrepreneur wanted to put all of her incredible knowledge and ideas into a book, but didn’t have the time to write it or the patience to deal with the frustrating publishing process. So we solved her problem. The origin story is here.
Her book became an amazing success, and we realized the world was full of these people–smart people who should write a book, but don’t, because the process is so painful.
These people want to write books, but don’t have the time or desire to do it the old way, and that’s why Scribe exists: we help people turn their ideas into books that both cement their legacy and impact the world.
Our process has worked for over 1500 authors in six years, and we’re growing fast. Our ultimate goal is to help everyone on earth write and publish a book.
If we do that, we’ll help create many thousands of books that would never have otherwise existed, changing the lives of millions of people. That’s really exciting to us.
To see what we mean, here are some author success stories and videos of authors talking about what their books mean to them, and to their readers.
But if you really want to see why we do this…just watch this video of an author we worked with, Philip McKernan.
What’s it like working with Scribe?
We’re not going to try to pitch you a load of corporate doublespeak bullshit about how great we are. Instead, we’ll just show you proof.
These are all real tribe members, speaking openly and honestly about all aspects of what it’s like to be part of this tribe:
The 5 Things Applicants Need to Know
Who Should Not Work At Scribe?
What’s It Like To Work At Scribe?
You can also watch The Power of Vulnerability at Work, for an excellent glimpse into how much we care about each other as people, and how we approach our relationships.
You can see a bunch more videos here, on our YouTube Channel.
This is the operating system for our tribe: The Scribe Culture Bible.
We are consistently ranked the #1 Best Place To Work in Austin.
Also, Entrepreneur Magazine said we have the #1 company culture in America.
You In? Awesome, here’s the details:

Type of Employment
Necessary Skills & Qualifications
Here is the list of skills we believe are necessary for this career.
- Organized and Detail-Oriented: This simply can’t be overstated. You must be able to stay organized and have sharp attention to detail. Carefully prioritizing tasks and effectively managing your time are necessary to best serve our authors’ QA experiences.
- Tech-Fluent: We’re looking for a whiz with Microsoft Word. Formatting citations and references? Check. Applying templates? Check. Reviewing comments and tracked changes? Double check. Seriously, if you are not an expert with Microsoft Word, do not apply.
- Problem Solver: We expect you to be self-sufficient; if you do end up stumped by something in Word, you should feel comfortable Googling it and teaching yourself. You’ll also be juggling multiple projects at once and need to be capable of rolling with the punches and course-correcting if things go wrong.
- Optimism: We believe that optimism is a super power. If you have a great attitude, strong resilience, and your default state is in a good mood, that is a skill.
Salary & Benefits
- Competitive Pay:Â $35/hour
- Be Part of a Tribe:Â This role is intended to begin as part time, but there is real potential to move to full time, given you want this and you do a great job. We see ourselves as a tribe of people who are working hard together to accomplish a specific mission (help everyone on earth write, publish and market their book), in service of a larger purpose (help people share their story and leave a legacy of impact on others). We also have a pretty cool set of principles that we live by as a tribe, you should check it out, because this is the operating system for our tribe.
- Freedom: You can work from anywhere—we don’t care. We only care that you have reliable phone and internet connections and that you do your job well.
- Fun & Fast-Paced Work:Â We don’t have boring days. Some are hectic, some are hard, some are incredibly rewarding…but they are never boring and never exactly the same. That’s what happens when you’re solving real problems for people.
- Work with Interesting People:Â Past authors include major company CEOs, famous entrepreneurs, professional athletes, and people with amazing personal stories.

Employer: Scribe Media
Are you the person your friends and family come to with grammar questions?
Do you wish you could control when you work and what you work on?
Are you constantly noticing typos in everything you read and get a thrilling satisfaction from noticing those details?
If this sounds like you, we’ve got your perfect career.
As a proofreader with Scribe, you are the one who makes the manuscript beautiful! You know that if there is even one error, readers begin looking for other errors and sharply discount the value of all that is right with a book. We depend on you to buff and polish the hard work that has come before, to give the author the best possible version of their book.
A proofreader is the last set of eyes to check a manuscript before it’s published. By the time a manuscript gets to a proofreader, it has been edited at least once, though it is often edited multiple times between the author and editor. The author should be as happy with the manuscript’s polish as they are with the writing, format, and order.
As a Proofreader with Scribe, you have a say in your workload. You’ll have the opportunity to see a variety of different manuscripts to determine what projects interest you! As a Freelancer, you’re in total control of how many projects you tell us you’d like to work on at any given time.
Once a Proofreader is assigned to a project, they are expected to:
- Review and take into account the author’s style preferences
- Proofread the manuscript within the allotted time (due dates are tiered based on word count)
- Record themselves reading the manuscript aloud while they’re conducting the proofread within the allotted time
- Re-upload the manuscript with their changes tracked
If you can nail that, you’re probably pretty awesome, which brings us to an important question:

Necessary Skills & Qualifications
Here is the list of skills we believe are necessary for this career:
- Word nerd: We’re looking for someone who has extensive experience in proofreading full-length manuscripts and who has strong working knowledge of Chicago Manual of Style.
- Detail-oriented: If a manuscript has one error, it is easy to assume there are more. Our expectations are high, and we expect proofreaders to hold themselves to a standard of excellence. In fact, impeccable attention to detail is so critical in this role that for the question that asks your favorite animal we want you to answer with “attention to detail is my middle name”.
- A quiet workspace: All proofreaders at Scribe are required to read their work aloud and submit a recording. This is an added layer of QA that helps our authors have the best experience possible.
Salary & Benefits
- Competitive Pay:Â Depends on the assignment. Either based on word count ($.01/word for proofreading full book manuscripts) OR hourly ($35 per hour additional book assets)
Unlike when you have to find your own clients, you’ll have no unpaid time spent finding those clients, negotiating your deal, admin work, etc. Working with us, there is none of that unpaid time. What most freelancers find is that while working with us, they make more money in total, and their quality of life goes up because they are doing less work that they don’t like. - Be Part of a Tribe:Â This role is intended to begin as freelance, but there is real potential to move to full time, given you want this and you do a great job.
