About the role

In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. This opportunity is ideal for expert editors who have demonstrated excellence working on published books, especially those with experience editing award-winning or bestselling titles. A strong commitment to both written and verbal communication is highly valued, as contributors will be collaborating in a fully remote environment with a focus on impactful editorial contributions.

Responsibilities

  • Review, analyze, and enhance book manuscripts with an emphasis on clarity, narrative structure, voice, and market alignment.
  • Provide detailed editorial feedback and perform advanced line editing, copyediting, and content restructuring as needed.
  • Identify inconsistencies, gaps, or opportunities for improvement in plot, character development, and thematic continuity.
  • Contribute to the creation of editorial guidelines and best practices to inform AI model development.
  • Draft, revise, and polish editorial commentary, ensuring feedback is constructive, actionable, and aligned with high industry standards.
  • Collaborate with project stakeholders by participating in written and verbal discussions to communicate edits and recommendations effectively.
  • Support ongoing quality control by reviewing and refining AI-generated editorial work for accuracy and style.

Preferred skills

  • Proven ability to deliver incisive, nuanced editorial feedback across genres and formats.
  • Strong collaboration skills with a passion for both written and verbal communication.
  • Comfort working in a remote, tech-enabled environment and adapting to evolving project needs.

Experience and education

  • Extensive experience editing published books for recognized publishing houses or prominent authors.
  • Editorial leadership on books that have achieved notable recognition (e.g., New York Times bestsellers or award-winning titles) is a significant plus.

Language requirements

  • Exceptional command of the English language, grammar, and literary style.

Eligibility

Work arrangement: Fully remote

  • US-based contributors are preferred, though highly qualified professionals from other locations will be considered.
