Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate has served in the U.S. military and produced official reports for years, so they can instantly spot what good military writing looks like. This role is not suited for civilian writers without direct DoD exposure, nor for people who dislike remote, independent work. Many applicants get passed over because they cannot point to exact examples of WARs, SITREPs, or AARs they have written, or because they have no experience grading others' work. If you can describe how your writing style varied across assignments and branches, you will stand out immediately.
Salary Insight
The pay is $40-$80 per hour, depending on experience and evaluation skills. No other compensation details are provided in the listing.
