Petrolicious Is Hiring: Copy Editor/Proofreader

Do you know your MLA and Chicago style guides by heart? Can you distinguish sports cars based on an exhaust note sounding from five blocks away? Petrolicious is seeking an experienced copy editor to proofread editorial content on a part-time basis. It’s not enough to know the English language backwards and forwards and upside down, you must also be as automotive-obsessed as we are—if you’re reading this there’s a good chance the latter part is already taken care of. The position will involve meticulous copyediting first and foremost, but there is room for expansion into feature story writing as well.

Please read the following before applying. We look forward to hearing from you.
