Full Job Description

Editor

Storyshares is seeking a part-time Editor to dedicate 10–20 hours per week to support the development of high-quality, engaging texts for older striving readers. This role includes copyediting, proofreading, fact-checking, and (optionally) developmental editing across a range of fiction and nonfiction titles, including decodable and high-low books.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong attention to detail, excellent editorial judgment, adaptability, initiative, and adherence to deadlines. This individual will report to the Chief Product Officer and collaborate closely with writers, phonics editors, designers, and the broader Storyshares team to ensure all materials meet our quality and accessibility standards.

Candidates should be passionate about literacy and excited to work on content that supports students in grades 3–12, particularly those who have fallen behind in reading. The Editor plays a critical role in refining manuscripts, maintaining consistency across titles, and ensuring that all content is clear, accurate, engaging, and appropriate for our audience.

Maintain consistency in tone, voice, and style across series and product lines
Review final proofs before publication to ensure error-free and accurate content

Developmental Support (as needed)

Provide developmental feedback on manuscripts, including structure, pacing, character development, and clarity
Collaborate with authors and internal teams to strengthen storytelling and reader engagement
Ensure texts align with Storyshares’s goals for accessibility and age-appropriate content

Metadata & Content Management

Create, review, and manage metadata for titles, including summaries, keywords, and leveling information
Ensure metadata is accurate, consistent, and aligned across internal systems and distribution platforms
Support product organization and discoverability through strong metadata practices

Collaboration & Process

Incorporate feedback from phonics editors, designers, and other stakeholders
Work cross-functionally to ensure alignment between editorial, design, and production
Follow Storyshares’s brand and editorial guidelines
Manage multiple projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines

Work Hours & Benefits

This is a remote position, requiring approximately 10–20 hours per week
Flexible schedule aligned with project deadlines
Start date: ASAP

Required Skills and Experience

Bachelor’s degree in English, Creative Writing, Education, or a related field
Strong command of English with excellent copyediting, proofreading, and fact-checking skills
Familiarity with the Chicago Manual of Style
Experience with metadata management and content organization
Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines
Strong communication and collaboration skills

Preferred (not required):

Experience with developmental editing
Background in education, literacy, or working with struggling readers
