LitCharts Reviews

I worked for LitCharts for a little over a year, first as a freelance writer and then as a full-time editor, before I left for graduate school. I couldn't recommend working for the company more highly. The founders (Ben and Justin) are conscientious and intelligent people. I liked them and I liked working for them. I was compensated quite competitively for my work, which I generally found to be engaging and enjoyable (I was editing summaries and literary analysis). Because everyone at LitCharts works remotely, it's a great workplace for people who value independence and flexibility in a job, provided you have some self-discipline. Finally, I respect the product Ben and Justin are building—I think it blows the competition out of the water in terms of quality—so I also trust in the company's success.

I've done contract work for about a dozen other companies before working with the people at LitCharts, and they've been by far the best in every category. Ben and Justin co-founded SparkNotes before doing it again (but even better) with LitCharts, and it's clear they resoundingly know how to build and manage a business. Communication on what I need to do is crystal clear, expectations are up-front and reasonable, they're open to input on ideas and implementation, and they have the fastest turnaround for processing invoices I'd ever think possible. Working with their team has been such a ridiculous pleasure and I hope to continue doing so for quite a while.
