Dear Hiring Team,
I’m applying for the Copy Editor role at Bright Publishing. Your recent campaign for Modern Health Magazine impressed me — the clean, consistent tone across 12 issues shows exactly what I can help maintain.
In my 3 years editing technical journals, I specialized in AP style and fact-checking. Last year, I reduced proofreading time by 20% for a team of 5 editors by creating annotated style guides. I also caught 32 factual errors in a medical journal issue, preventing potential misinformation.
I’m skilled in Grammarly Business and Adobe InDesign, and I thrive in collaborative environments. At Lexicon Media, I worked directly with writers to refine 80+ articles for clarity and brand voice. Your focus on concise storytelling aligns perfectly with my approach.
I’d welcome the chance to contribute to Bright Publishing’s editorial standards. I’m available for an interview at your convenience. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Emily Carter
