Freelance Editor Literature Study GuidesJob description

  • Are you an experienced editor with a background in academic writing? A current or former English teacher? Or an advanced degree holder in a literature-related field? If so, this is the perfect freelance editing opportunity for you.
  • SuperSummary.com is a fast-growing academic study guide website that helps students, teachers, and everyday readers understand a variety of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry texts.
  • Our study guides are authoritative and comprehensive, authored by experienced writers with backgrounds in literature and typically run 10,000-20,000 words in length.
