Cover Letter and Referral Letter Editor

Freelance, project based · Remote · Occasional work, paid per assignment

You edit written reference letters and cover letters so they read clearly and professionally while keeping the author's meaning exactly as it was given. Assignments arrive irregularly, sometimes weeks apart, and each one is small. This suits an experienced editor who wants occasional work rather than a steady load.

What the work involves

• Edit letters for clarity, grammar and tone without changing what the author said.
• Keep quoted material exactly as written. We never paraphrase a reference into something they did not say.
• Turn work around within two business days of assignment.
• Treat every document as confidential. All assignments are covered by a confidentiality agreement.

What we look for

• Professional editing experience, in any setting where accuracy mattered.
• A light touch. The best edit here is the smallest one that works.
• Comfort with documents about real people, handled discreetly.

How to apply

Write to careers@trustedreferencecheck.org with a short note about your editing background and one sample of your work. No formal cover letter is needed. We reply to everyone we can use and keep applications on file for future assignments.
