No matter how many times you read something, their is always something new to find.  

Did you notice the grammatical error in that sentence? If so, good job. There will be more of those to find when you’re a copy editor.

Apex CoVantage, a company specializing in editorial, data conversion and content-enhancement solutions for publishers, is hiring remote freelance copy editors to make line edits for its academic nonfiction books. There are two types of positions open — one is a general copy editor gig and the other has a focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) subjects. The STEM-specific job requires the applicant have a bachelor’s in a STEM field.
