Requirements
Preferred
We promise students that we work with highly skilled editors—and to keep this promise, we’ve developed a unique (and admittedly demanding) application process for our editors.
Out of every 100 applicants, we only qualify 2 new editors. We use our challenging language quiz to identify the applicants who are the best fit for our team. As you advance through the process, you’ll receive more support and feedback from our Academy Coaches. With every step, you’ll get closer to becoming a qualified editor.
Do you have what it takes? We look forward to welcoming you to our team!
30 minutes
Only 2% of applicants pass our challenging grammar and style quiz. If you’re up for the challenge and make the grade, we’ll invite you to apply.
1–2 hours
You’ve proven that you know your grammar — now, we want to see how you apply that knowledge through three short sample edits.
2–3 weeks
This is the final stage of your application process. During the Scribbr Academy you will learn how to edit according to Scribbr guidelines, and get tested via simulation orders (the quantity depends on your performance). Throughout this stage you’ll receive support from our Academy Coaches every step of the way.
Thank you for your interest in working as an editor! Unfortunately, we are not recruiting at the moment, but we will make sure to update this page whenever we start our recruitment process again.
