7. Editor

Retired English teachers and others with writing skills and experience can easily apply for the post of Editor.

An editor’s role is to confirm the value of writing. It may involve fact-checking to confirm the exactness of data, but the editor also transmits out the vision for the article, making sure that it’s useful and of interest to readers.

The editor may deliver inclusive direction for the article and in some cases, may work with art directors or designers on layouts and visuals to go with the article. Being hired as an Editor is a brilliant opportunity for pensioned-off teachers who have a keen eye for detail and a yearn for a flexible way to make extra income.
