Vacant job

Are you fast, meticulous, and passionate about working with language? We are looking for an experienced proofreader to quality-assure a new Swedish cookbook on gelato – and who can also serve as a recurring resource for future text projects.

This is an intensive assignment lasting approximately one week, with the possibility of further freelance opportunities ahead.
