Editorial Fellowships
We offer fellowship opportunities with our Editorial teams in each of our publishing categories. Fellows will have a variety of responsibilities which may include evaluating manuscripts, aiding in submissions, sorting and sending out decline notices as needed, drafting copy and acquisition topsheets, preparing sales materials, helping with mailings, attending meetings, and handling other administrative tasks. All Fellows must be highly organized, flexible, and able to effectively multitask. Editorial or copywriting experience is a plus.
The Basics:
Full time, Non-exempt, 37.5 hours / week, paid $20/hour
Full benefits with medical, vision, and dental
2 weeks paid vacation (does not include company holiday closure dates)
Projected Start Date: July 29, 2024
Projected End Date: September 30, 2025
We are offering 3 opportunities in our editorial departments:
ART
Fellows assisting the Art editors will work on illustrated art and photography books, along with clever gifts and stationery.
ENTERTAINMENT
Fellows assisting the Entertainment editors will work on publishing in the categories of pop culture, humor, pets, trivia, travel, and sex.
CHILDREN’S
Fellows assisting the Children’s editors will work on books for readers up to 18 years old, including board books, picture books, chapter books, and middle grade, as well as novelty items, games, and journals.
Fellows will follow a hybrid schedule of working a minimum of 3 days per week and up to 4 days per week in our San Francisco office. Due to the high level of interest in these roles, we will only be able to contact candidates we are considering placing, and we will not be able to review general requests for Fellowships (specify your editorial department of interest, please).

RESUMES AND COVER LETTERS WILL BE ACCEPTED BETWEEN:
February 1, 2023 and April 30, 2024
We will be in touch during May and June if considered for the fellowship; all incoming Fellows will be confirmed by June 24th.
