JRT is looking for a qualified Proofreading Intern to join our team. Our creative department produces quality work for major companies in the Detroit area. As our Proofreading Intern, you can participate in various stages of print and online marketing campaigns by helping ensure all deliverables are clear, polished and error-free.
A good proofreader is someone with a sharp eye for detail, a strong command of grammar and punctuation, and an appreciation for consistency in style and voice. You know the difference between “that” and “which,” can spot a typo from a mile away and feel a small sense of victory when you catch a missing comma. Bonus points if you’re familiar with the AP Style Guide and enjoy making sure copy follows it.
We are looking for someone who takes pride in precision.
Someone who loves refining language, tightening clarity and helping creative work shine at its best. A careful thinker who understands that proofreading isn’t just about fixing mistakes — it’s about protecting the integrity of the message and making sure every piece of communication represents the brand well.
If you have a talent for catching the small things others miss, enjoy making great writing even better and want to gain experience supporting creative and marketing teams, bring us your eagle eyes and your love of language — at least for a few months. Let us jump-start your career with the internship that could change your life!
This internship is paid and expected to be a full-time position between May and August 2026 (although exact dates are flexible).
