Academic proof reading (Freelance / Remote)
I am looking for an experienced academic editor to proofread and edit a 65,000-word PhD dissertation. Deadline: Final delivery by next Tuesday (approximately 4 days). I will send an initial section beforehand so you can review the style and provide a sample of your editing approach before working on the full manuscript. The work goes beyond grammar and proofreading. I am looking for someone who can strengthen the academic quality of the dissertation by: Correcting grammar, spelling, punctuation, and syntax. Improving clarity, readability, and academic writing style. Strengthening the line of argument throughout the dissertation. Refining paragraph structure and transitions to improve the logical flow. Identifying inconsistencies in terminology and ensuring that key concepts are used consistently across the entire manuscript. Editing sentences where necessary to better support the central argument and overall academic structure. Maintaining the author's voice while improving precision and coherence. The dissertation is in the field of architecture, urban design, and architectural theory, so experience editing academic work in architecture, urban studies, humanities, or related disciplines is highly desirable. Please include: Your academic editing experience (especially with PhD dissertations). Your familiarity with architecture or related fields, if applicable. Your availability to meet the deadline. Your rate or fixed-price quote. If possible, please also indicate whether you are willing to edit a short sample before taking on the full dissertation.

Have you worked as a scopist, proofreader, legal transcriptionist, digital court reporter, or transcript editor? Do terms like **speaker IDs, colloquy, Q&A formatting, parentheticals, exhibits, bylines, and certification pages** already feel familiar? If so, we'd love to meet you. We're looking for someone who already understands the rhythm and flow of deposition transcripts and enjoys making the final product polished, accurate, and professionally formatted. ## About the Role You'll serve as a **Virtual Transcript Manager (VTM)** supporting a busy freelance court reporter. Rather than taking the testimony yourself, you'll manage transcript production from draft to final delivery—ensuring every transcript is accurate, professionally formatted, thoroughly researched, and delivered on time. Every transcript is its own project with unique attorneys, witnesses, exhibits, deadlines, and formatting requirements. Your role is to keep each one organized while maintaining exceptional quality. ## Responsibilities * Edit and proofread legal transcripts for grammar, punctuation, formatting, and consistency. * Verify speaker identifications and maintain accurate speaker changes throughout the transcript. * Ensure proper deposition formatting, including Q&A sections, colloquy, parentheticals, indices, exhibit references, and certification pages. * Research spellings of names, companies, medical terminology, addresses, technical terms, and case-specific terminology using exhibits and reliable sources. * Review transcripts for missing testimony, formatting inconsistencies, duplicate text, or other production issues before delivery. * Manage multiple transcript deadlines simultaneously. * Communicate professionally with attorneys, agencies, scopists, proofreaders, and other vendors when needed. * Track transcript progress from rough draft through final production. * Help continuously improve production workflows and quality-control processes. ## Qualifications We're looking for someone who already has experience with one or more of the following: * Legal transcription * Court reporting * Digital court reporting * Scoping * Transcript proofreading * Deposition transcript editing * Litigation support You should also have: * Excellent English grammar, punctuation, and editing skills. * Strong understanding of deposition transcript structure and formatting. * Ability to recognize speaker changes and maintain consistent speaker identification. * Exceptional attention to detail. * Excellent organizational and project management skills. * Ability to prioritize multiple deadlines. * Strong written communication. * Ability to work independently with minimal supervision. * Confidence learning new software and workflows. ## Preferred Experience Experience with one or more of the following is a plus: * Case CATalyst * Eclipse * Digital reporting platforms * Legal transcript production software * PDF exhibit management * Microsoft Office * AI-assisted transcript editing tools ## What Success Looks Like The ideal person enjoys polishing transcripts until they're publication-ready. You notice inconsistencies others miss. You naturally question whether a speaker ID is correct, whether a company name is spelled consistently throughout, or whether testimony flows logically from one page to the next. You don't just proofread—you think like a quality-control specialist. ## Compensation * Flexible part-time schedule * Remote work * Per-page compensation plus guaranteed monthly minimum * Opportunity for additional responsibilities and increased compensation as the company grows ## To Apply Please include: * Your level of experience and interest in this position. * The transcript production softwares you are familiar with using (i.e. CaseCAT, Eclipse, Word, AutoScript, etc.) * The types of documents you know how to convert transcripts into while preserving formatting (RTF, Word, ASCII, etc.) Bonus: Tell us what you enjoy most about working with transcripts. We love meeting people who genuinely appreciate the craft of producing an accurate legal record.
