Are there any leads or paths to copyediting or proofreading positions in the tech industry that don't require a related degree (English, journalism. literature, creative writing, or communications) and allow those with freelance experience? Many copyediting and proofreading positions in the tech industry ask for a related degree. I have over six years of freelance editing and proofreading experience in the B2B and nonfiction spaces. I work with solopreneurs, other professionals, and Fortune 1000 companies.
