Summary

When Proofreading becomes a Treasure Hunt, money is made! This proofreading job is a real treasure hunt. The base pay is 5$ to find typos in a chapter between 3,500 and 5,500 words. For each error found in the text, 10¢ is added as a bonus, so a proofreader can make as much money as there are legitimate errors found and noted in red ink in the hard copy (no digital copy will be provided). Proofreaders who show exceptional skill at discerning the most invisible of typos will be privileged to take on additional chapters on upcoming projects in the future. Proofreaders will be provided with a checklist to assist in methodically hunting for potential errors. Note also that finding 80% of typos is a requirement for job fulfillment, not an option. Finding 95% of errors will add an extra 5$ bonus on top of the 10¢ per error found Treasure Hunt Maximal Pay Formula is: 5$+5$+10¢X=______ $ Requirements are access to an unabridged dictionary, an ability to cull at least 90% of all typos, and lastly, an interest in fantastical literature. If you can handle these basics for being an effective proofreader, send us a note.
