• *About the Role**
I run an SEO content operation serving clients across multiple industries — primarily health and wellness, but not exclusively. I'm looking for a reliable, detail-oriented proofreader and fact-checker to review AI-drafted articles before they go live.
This is a straightforward but important role — the content needs to be accurate, readable, and polished. If you're thorough and dependable, there's real opportunity to grow into full article writing, editing, and direct website publishing responsibilities.

• *What You'll Do**
- Read AI-generated SEO articles and flag grammatical errors, awkward phrasing, and inconsistencies
- Manually fact-check claims against credible, authoritative sources relevant to the topic
- Submit a simple fact-check log with each article: claim → source URL → verdict
- Flag anything that reads as inaccurate, misleading, or unsupported
---
• *Requirements**
- Native US English speaker — this is a firm requirement, not a preference
- Strong command of grammar, punctuation, and clarity
- Ability to find and evaluate credible sources across a range of topics
- You must fact-check manually — AI tools cannot be used for verification
- Reliable turnaround and clear communication
---
• *Nice to Have**
- Background in journalism, English, communications, or a related field
- Prior experience editing web content or blogs across various industries
- Familiarity with what SEO content looks like

• *How to Apply**
Write me a cover letter that:
1. Tells me your background and why this role fits your skills
2. Describes how you would fact-check a claim (walk me through your actual process)
3. Includes the phrase "manual first" somewhere in your message so I know you read this
Applicants without a personalized cover letter will not be considered.
Selected candidates will be given a short paid test task (1 article) before any ongoing work is offered.
