Responsibilities
Edit and proofread copy for clarity, grammar, tone, and consistency (web, social, one-sheets, pitches, press, emails)
Assist with publishing documentation: split sheets, lyric sheets, credits, registrations, release notes, and catalog organization
Maintain and apply style guidelines so everything sounds like 'Novelist.'
Support sync-readiness by helping format and refine: summaries, keywords/descriptors, metadata, alt titles, and deliverable notes
Organize and version-control documents (Google Drive/Notion or similar)
Track revisions, deadlines, and approvals across multiple projects
Fact-check names, credits, dates, titles, and references—small errors can become expensive
Occasionally assist with light writing (bios, blurbs, captions, short descriptions)
Qualification
Required
Strong editing and proofreading skills (you catch what others miss)
Excellent attention to detail and follow-through
Ability to work independently in a remote environment and hit deadlines
Organized communicator—clear notes, clean handoffs, low drama
Comfortable with Google Workspace; Notion/Airtable/CMS experience is a plus
Music/publishing familiarity (credits, splits, PROs) is a plus, but not required if you learn fast
Preferred
Experience editing in music/entertainment/culture/media
Knowledge of sync pitching or metadata best practices
You can improve copy without flattening personality
