The work will consist of copy editing business case studies, mini-cases and other educational materials for publication. Mini-cases are generally 3 to 4 pages and full cases studies may be 5 to 30 or more pages. It is expected, but not guaranteed, that copy editors will be asked to review the equivalent of 1 full case study per week. Documents will be provided electronically in Microsoft Word (2007 or earlier version). The copy editor will have two business days to accept or decline each document. If accepted, each job is expected to be complete within five business days.

The copy editor is to make sure that each document is clear, correct, concise, comprehensible and consistent. The job will include correction of spelling, grammar, terminology and semantic errors. The copy editor may make changes to improve the flow of the document or to improve its meaning. All edits will be done electronically with the “Track Changes” tool in Microsoft Word.

REQUIREMENTS:
Prior copy editing experience and a degree is required (English, Journalism or Communications is preferred). Familiarity with business terminology is preferred. Must have access to MS Word.

PAY: 
Will be discussed at interview; a fee for each case will be based on a projected time estimate from WDI's Educational Outreach team which will be determined at the assignment delivery. The independent contractor will invoice WDI each month and will be paid within thirty days of receipt.
