We receive a high volume of academic and business papers 24/7. EditorLive editors are required to provide corrections and suggestions in reference to grammar, spelling, document flow, punctuation, and usage within strict deadlines ranging from 3 to 72 hours, depending upon the client’s request. He/She also must be skilled in Chicago, APA, AP, MLA, CSE, and other style manuals.
All work is performed in four-hour shifts; you may select as many shifts as you would like to accommodate your schedule. The amount of money that you earn depends on the number of shifts that you select, the time of day of the shifts, how many other editors share your shift, and the number of documents which are uploaded to us, which depends, to a certain extent, on the academic/business year. You receive between 40 to 50% of the client’s payment for each document that you edit. Editors typically earn anywhere from $300 to $3,000 every two weeks, depending upon the above factors. You can expect to be engaged in editing throughout your four-hour shifts. You may need to work outside of your four-hour shifts to complete the documents that were assigned to you during those times.
