  • Ability to follow directions well
  • Attention to detail
  • Ability to stay focused and work efficiently
  • Good communication skills, verbal and written

  • Acceptable performance on the BJU Press editorial test
  • Desirable: Various educational backgrounds—from English to science—are valuable to proofreading

This is not a remote position.
