As some of you already know, I've got a second job these days as a contract copy editor for a boutique press that publishes m/m romance fiction, Dreamspinner Press. (You'd be surprised how often the books I read and edit are original fiction reworks of fanfiction, especially AU J2!). The press is a class act in that they take the editing and proofreading process seriously--which cannot really be said for all the small ebook/print presses out there these days.
Dreamspinner is looking for some proofreaders. I started out as a proofreader. Proofreader's do not get paid, but they do get a discount on the books published, great experience, and a shot at eventually becoming copy editors for pay. The Editor in Chief and her top assistant are great to work with and happy to nurture newcomers along. So, if you think you are pretty good at proofreading, like the genre, like the idea of working at home, and want to improve your skills, you might want to check this out. I've read both good and not-so-good stuff in this job, but I have really learned a lot and enjoyed doing it.
