About the Role

We are hiring detail-oriented individuals to join our digital publishing team as Remote Writing Assistants. In this fully remote position, you’ll work with our editorial and layout teams to help prepare book content for online distribution. Your day-to-day tasks will focus on supporting the formatting, structure, and development of low-content and guided-content digital books. These include planners, journals, logbooks, and other structured publishing formats. This role requires precision, consistency, and the ability to follow clear layout instructions using web-based tools. No prior writing or publishing experience is necessary, and comprehensive training is provided.

Responsibilities

As a Remote Writing Assistant, your core duties will include supporting the content creation process for structured book layouts such as planners, habit trackers, meal logs, wellness journals, productivity templates, and similar digital publications. You will use company-provided frameworks to assemble structured book content. You’ll input headers, prompts, and section titles into standardized formatting tools. You will support the QA process by reviewing completed documents for layout consistency and grammar accuracy. You’ll work with basic digital publishing software to create clean, ready-to-upload interiors. You may also assist with research tasks for trending themes, relevant phrases, or structural inspiration to guide new product development. The majority of tasks are template-driven and require no creative writing or advanced editing.

Qualifications

No previous experience is required, but we are looking for individuals with strong attention to detail and a comfort level working independently. Candidates should be familiar with basic computer functions such as typing, copy-pasting, file naming, and uploading/downloading documents. Comfort using platforms like Google Docs, Canva, or similar browser-based tools is preferred but not mandatory. Candidates must be able to follow written and video instructions. Strong communication skills, the ability to follow content guidelines precisely, and good time management are essential for success in this role.

What You’ll Need

You will need a desktop or laptop computer with internet access. A Gmail account is required to access documents and project portals. Optional tools like Canva (free version) may be used for formatting and layout design. You should have the ability to focus on detail-oriented tasks for short blocks of time. No paid software is required. You will receive access to all publishing frameworks, step-by-step training, and video tutorials as part of your onboarding process.

Typical Day in the Role

You will start your session by reviewing your assigned book template and corresponding guidelines. Tasks may include editing page layouts, inputting journal prompts, adjusting spacing between headings and margins, or inserting table elements into digital worksheets. You’ll work through each assigned section using the formatting tool provided. Once the content is complete, you will save the project using the company’s file structure and submit your work through the cloud-based portal. Throughout the day, you may refer to the training library to learn new formatting styles or explore productivity tips to help streamline your workflow. Most tasks can be completed in 30 to 90-minute sessions. The position is highly flexible, with no set hours or login requirements.

Who Thrives in This Role

Individuals who enjoy working independently, following structured systems, and focusing on fine details tend to succeed in this position. This role is well-suited for stay-at-home parents, students, freelancers, career changers, and retirees looking to develop digital publishing experience. You do not need to be a writer, designer, or editor. If you are consistent, task-oriented, and eager to learn, this role can be a valuable step toward ongoing remote work opportunities in content production, e-commerce, and digital publishing.

Key Skills

Attention to detail. Comfort with repetitive formatting and layout tasks. Ability to follow templates. Familiarity with browser-based tools.
