Most people expect editors and proofreaders to have post-secondary education in English, Journalism or Professional Writing. However, the following links may help. If you're an editor of non-fiction, you'll also need an extensive background in the area you are editing (see the third link). Good luck.

Really? You can find mistakes? Not by what I can see.

You will have to ask them individually. You can get a list from the Writer's Market or look up publishers or agents online. Another good place to look for Agencies is Preditors or Editors. You need to compose a query letter and enclose a one-page resume.

All of them employ proof readers. You will have to ask them if they are hiring.
