Proofreading is still done by a person or persons, as it's impossible for a computer to spot the inconsistencies and mistakes that occur in printed materials.
You need a very good grasp of English and the ability to see consistent themes throughout a document/ book/ advert/ magazine and spot the mistakes that can occur.
It helps if you have experience of the world of publishing or advertising and, of course, contacts are vital. There are agencies who will supply proof readers to organisations who need them on a temporary basis, or you can find the contacts yourself, through mailshots etc. You can charge between £15-20 per hour.

Computers are not adequate for this function. Try googling "Owed to a Spell Chequer" for a very insightful poem......

There are requirements for skilled proofreaders but the demand is dwindling so if you are wanting to make it a full time occupation then you need to ensure that you are linked in as a contractor to a number of companies - i.e. publishers, writers, magazines, etc

no (its open to debate). although my grammar out here doesnt show it. when i was proofreading, i had to pass a battery of tests. there is no way, an attorney or company is going to let their documents go outside.

I thought this would be a great part-time job to do.Especially as there was a company advertising courses in both copywriting and proof reading.However I thought it wise to check with various magazines and newspapers.All of them said they no longer employ proof readers these days, as it was all adjusted by the computer.In other words the ad is just a scam.
