Copy Editor

Texas Monthly has an immediate opening for a copy editor, who will work with the editorial team to ensure the accuracy, clarity, and precision of its published work. This copy editor, who will report to the director of editorial operations, will be primarily focused on the print magazine but may be asked to edit copy for other editorial platforms as needed. Our print copy editors are integral to the editing and proofing processes for the magazine and are expected to commit what Bill Walsh called “tiny acts of elegance” as they are editing. Copy editors review the text for grammatical accuracy and adherence to our style guides, but they are also expected to go deeper into the text, flagging inconsistencies, errors in logic on the sentence or paragraph level, or unclear language. This is a full-time position with generous benefits, including a comprehensive health-insurance plan, 401(k) matching, profit sharing, and the opportunity for annual bonuses. Compensation is competitive and negotiable. While preference will be given to candidates who are based in, or willing to relocate to, Austin, candidates located elsewhere in Texas will be considered.
