Job Description: Summary
We’re hiring an experienced technical editor/copyeditor to audit and polish beginner-friendly programming projects. You’ll validate code, fix explanations, and ensure the material is accurate, readable, and consistent. Primary languages:
 Python
 JavaScript
 SQL
 HTML/CSS

Average project length: ~2,000 words (hands-on, step-by-step exercises).
What you’ll do

 Verify code accuracy and runability
 Execute all code samples; confirm expected outputs.
 Flag and fix logic errors, edge cases, version issues, and platform gotchas.
 Ensure code style is consistent with our guide (naming, formatting, comments).
 Validate instructional steps
 Review every step for clarity, completeness, and correct sequencing.
 Rewrite ambiguous directions; add missing context, warnings, or prerequisites.
 Confirm environment setup and dependencies (e.g., Python version, Node/npm, DB setup) are correct and reproducible.
 Copyedit for readability
 Correct grammar, punctuation, and usage; simplify wording without dumbing it down.
 Enforce consistent terminology and UI labels; fix formatting of code, paths, and commands.
 Apply plain-language, inclusive writing appropriate for beginners.
 Quality and consistency checks
 Ensure screenshots, filenames, and outputs match the text.
 Update deprecated APIs or commands; note breaking changes between versions.
 Maintain a concise change log for each project.

Must-have qualifications

 Strong proficiency with Python, JavaScript, SQL, and HTML/CSS (enough to spot subtle mistakes and better alternatives).
 Proven experience technically editing book-level or curriculum-level materials.
 Comfortable running and debugging code on Windows and macOS (or containerized environments).
 Working knowledge of linters/formatters (e.g., Black, Prettier), Markdown, and basic Git workflows.
 Excellent command of English and an eye for beginner pitfalls.

Nice to have

 Familiarity with Jupyter, Node toolchains, SQLite/Postgres, and browser dev tools.
 Experience with accessibility basics (alt text, color contrast, semantic HTML).
 Knowledge of Chicago/house-style conventions for technical publishing.

Scope & workflow

 Projects assigned in batches; each project ~2,000 words with embedded code.
 You return: edited manuscript (track changes), corrected code files, and a brief issue log.
 Typical pass includes: technical edit → copyedit → quick final check after author fixes.
 Collaboration via Notion (track changes) + Git repo or shared folder for code.

Tools we use

 Notion (track changes)
 VS Code / your preferred editor
 Git (basic branching/PRs)

Engagement details

 Contract / freelance with steady, recurring work if quality and timelines hold.
 Competitive per-project or per-hour rates (commensurate with experience).
 Turnaround expectations will be clear per batch before you accept.

How to apply
Send:

 Brief note on your relevant editing experience.
 Two samples: (a) a marked-up technical edit, (b) a short code review or before/after edit.
 Your standard rates and earliest start date.

Short-listed candidates will complete a paid editing exercise (a real excerpt with code).
