Dreamspinner Press

So I have a freind who is an experienced editor and caught in the Vast Swirls of Unemployment and Underemployment that afflict the young folks these days. He applies to a lot of jobs.

Dreamspinner has an ad on their website claiming that they're looking for more editors. You take a test and they hire you or don't. My friend took their test. It was a four-page piece of terrible writing. He got back an assessment that said he had missed a whole long list of in-house quirks, and they weren't going to hire him, but they would deign to employ him as an unpaid proofreader. They hire from their unpaid proofreaders, they said.

Unpaid. Proofreaders.

Did I mention that the pay for editors is terrible anyhow?
