Scribe Media – Structural Editor – USA

Job title: Structural Editor Company: Scribe Media Job description: Do you love editing books? Do you like helping other people achieve something meaningful in their lives? Are you tired of the bullshit that comes with most publishing jobs, and want to do work that matters? If this sounds like you, we've got your perfect career. We need editors. We want editors who can see the architecture of a book-and know how to fix it if it's wonky. Editors who can bring authors along on the journey to the best book that author can write. Editors who can work with what's on the page-and see what isn't, but should be. Of course we want editors who have the important and foundational skills that any editing job requires. These include excellent reading comprehension, advanced writing capabilities, a strong grasp of grammar and spelling, etc. You probably already have these skills if you're reading this.

• We want editors who love the creative work of turning good ideas into important books. To be specific:
• If you like helping people tell their story, you'll like working with us.
• If you like helping people share their wisdom with the world, you'll like working with us.
• If you like taking a messy, unstructured manuscript written by a first-time author and turning it into something that the author is proud of putting their name on, you'll like working with us.
• If you like helping people refine and shape their ideas so other people will understand them, you'll like working with us.
• If you like working sentence-by-sentence to polish language, you'll like working with us.
• Most important, if you want to work on books that have a real impact on actual readers, you'll like working with us.
• But-if you refuse to allow an “ain't” anywhere in a manuscript, instead of really digging into the meaning of the content and the voice the author wants to use, you probably won't like working with us.
• Attention to detail in this role, and every role at Scribe, is crucial. That starts with reading this entire career description. Read everything we have to say.

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.

We can edit and publish an already written manuscript ( ), or we can help people write their book using a structured process with our guidance ( ), or we can do a structured interview process that gets the book out of them in their words and their voice ( ).
