Copy editor. I am a voracious reader and read a lot of books from a small publisher (military Sci-Fi). I connected with the publisher on a Facebook group he maintains and complained so much about grammar and formatting errors in his books that he finally asked if I wanted a job. Since then, other publishers have reached out to me as well. So, almost every day is busy reading advance copies of books and submitting edits. No pay, but some of the authors send me autographed copies of the books and I get some swag like T-shirts and the like. Full disclosure: I was chief of the publications production division of the Army Field Artillery School for several years so I'm actually qualified for the job.
