This role centres around ensuring all published Tuts+ tutorial content is of a consistently high standard, with each piece meeting our style and grammar guidelines and being structured to best educate its intended audience.
You’ll be tasked with taking completed draft tutorials and polishing them into a shining beacon of grammatical excellence, ready for publication. We’re looking for exquisite spelling, perfect punctuation, an impressive grasp of sentence structure and the innate ability to massage complex ideas into simple learnings.

- High level of initiative, independence and self-management.
- An attitude that aligns with Envato’s culture and values.
Role Details
- You can work from anywhere.
- The time commitment is 40 hours per week.
- You'll be paid a competitive rate as a contractor.
- We provide access to most of the web services you need to use, though you’ll need to have access to your own software (e.g. Photoshop).
