I’m tired of just reading books for fun. Even in well-written and high minded literature, I find copy errors and other mistakes that in theory should be handled in editing. Frustrating mistakes - typos, misplaced apostrophes, and bigger grammar problems - take me out of the story and make reading less fun.
I want to be a book editor (or some kind of copy/content editor. Online would be fine, too.) At least then I’d have the satisfaction of correcting those problems.
Now, how do I do that?
