Writing & Editing

This track is for experienced writers, journalists, and editors who can assess a piece of writing beyond whether it sounds polished. Paid assignments draw on familiar editorial skills: recognizing an unsupported claim, checking whether a response answers the brief, and making a sentence more precise without changing its meaning. Professional judgment and a clear explanation of your decisions matter.

For example, two drafts might both read smoothly while only one addresses the intended audience or supports its main claim. A useful review would identify the difference, explain its effect on the reader, and suggest a better version where requested. The actual format, topic, and scoring instructions depend on the assignment.

The selected track asks for professional writing or editing experience and native or near-native English. It expresses a preference for degrees from institutions in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, or New Zealand; that is an education preference, not a stated residency rule. Selection and available assignments depend on the project.
