As long as the written word is used, proofreaders won't find themselves out of a job. Freelance proofreading jobs are very common.

So if you're wondering what your options are for freelance proofreading jobs, you should know there are many. But is freelance copy editing for you?
If you're one of those people who scoff at misspelled words, misplaced hyphens, poorly constructed sentences, and the like, then you just might make a great proofreader! Proofreaders are vital to the success of any business. So your role as a copy editor is a major one. Readers will be turned off by a company, magazine, newspaper, etc, if they come across typos, etc. Not to mention, information is not properly conveyed if it's not written well.

Testimonials
"I took a chance one day when I was flush and sent a few bucks to gain access to the Go Freelance Professional Edition. Since then, I've edited a sales letter, a follow-up letter, an 11-page Web site, and a brochure. I'm 'on call' to do pinch-hit proofreading for a medical newsletter editor in Florida ..and I've landed a gig editing a new Canadian magazine coming out this fall. All this from taking a chance on Go Freelance."
