Freelance editors

Mill Media is looking for freelance editors who have experience working on long and complex stories, including narrative long reads, investigative stories, and observational features. They will be working with our team of staff writers and editors to commission and edit stories from start to finish, so they need to be great at guiding writers and sharpening up ideas as well as improving drafts.

We have a small group of freelance editors who work with us on a regular basis: some do regular days each week, and others jump in to help when we need extra cover. Over the next few months, we\’d like to widen that group by doing a few trial shifts with new editors.

Details of the role:

• Location: Ideally based in one of our cities (Manchester, London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Liverpool, and Sheffield), but a strong knowledge of one of our cities is fine.
• Basis: Remote work, with occasional visits to our offices.
• Apply: Please email by Sunday 23 March 2025 and tell us about your experience (which must include at least three years of professional editing at leading magazines or newspapers), a few big stories you have worked on, and a bit about your approach to working with writers. We will invite some editors to do an edit test.
