Become a Book Editor

Have the Book Lover's Dream Job

If you love to read, book editor is probably the most fab job you can imagine. Book editors are the people who shape what the world reads. They decide which manuscripts are worthy of becoming published books, and then they turn those manuscripts into masterpieces.

About a Career as a Book Editor

Editors generally fall into two categories: copyeditors and acquisitions editors. Read on to see which job appeals to you.

Copyeditor: Copyeditors edit an author's manuscript. These are the people who correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Copyeditors make sure that the character that has brown curly hair on page 24 still has brown curly hair on page 224. Their work directly contributes to the reader's enjoyment of the published book.

Acquisitions Editor: Acquisitions involves buying books for a publishing house. These are the people who deal with literary agents and authors. They read proposals and sample chapters. They make offers to publish manuscripts that they think are written well and will sell well. They work with authors throughout the writing process to ensure that the book stays on track and on time.

          "I'm currently an English teacher in South Korea (returning to the States in a few months), so ordering a quick and simple ebook from FabJob.com prevented the hassles of having to order overseas. FabJob.com has given me the confidence to dive in, just like I've always wanted to, whereas before I felt shaky and without a mentor. I'll always go through this ebook for future questions especially during my first year. Thanks!"

          "I purchased the e-book three years ago and I have since started my own company. The book has been my living guide especially in my first year of operation. In many ways, I could not have gone through the starting year without it. This year I am expanding my operation and I was panic stricken for a while to find out that I lost the e-book. I wrote to FabJob about it and in less than an hour I received another copy of it. Congratulations to FabJob! You have great books and your customer service is amazing."

Thank you so much for this valuable resource!"
