Assistant Editor

**In the Company of Good Books**

We’re a young, dynamic publishing house on a mission to shape the future of educational content. We thrive on innovation, digital transformation, and market-driven content. If you’re passionate about publishing, excel in a collaborative environment, and have an eye for detail, we’d love to hear from you

**Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It)**

As an **Assistant Editor**, you’ll be at the heart of the publishing process—refining manuscripts, managing content development, coordinating reviews, and ensuring seamless production workflows. Working closely with the publisher and commissioning editor, you’ll help shape high-quality educational books and digital content while conducting market research to support publishing decisions.

**Editorial and Content Development**
- Work on commissioned manuscripts, ensuring clarity, coherence, and adherence to editorial guidelines.
- Provide structural and developmental editing to enhance content quality.
- Ensure manuscripts meet educational and market requirements before finalization.

**Production and Workflow Management**
- Liaise with production vendors, typesetters, and designers to manage the transformation of manuscripts into polished books and digital content.
- Coordinate proofreads and quality checks before final approvals.
- Track production schedules to ensure timely delivery to the press.

**Market Research and Competitive Analysis**
- Assist the Publisher and Commissioning Editor in conducting market research to identify content gaps and emerging trends.
- Analyse competitor publications and provide insights to strengthen our publishing strategy.
- Gather feedback from authors, reviewers, and educators to refine editorial decisions.

**Author and Stakeholder Coordination**
- Work closely with authors, providing editorial guidance and ensuring timely manuscript submission.
- Communicate with reviewers and SMEs for content validation and feedback.
- Assist in developing author guidelines and content templates.

**What You Bring to the Table**
- **Attention to Detail**: You’re meticulous in your approach. You can spot a typo from a mile away, ensuring error-free, polished content every time.
- **Proactive and Organized**: Managing multiple projects while keeping a cool head? That’s your thing.
- **Strong Communication Skills**: Whether it’s authors, vendors, or production teams, you ensure clarity in all editorial processes.
- **Market Awareness**: You stay curious about educational publishing trends and can assess what makes content work.

**Bonus Points If You Have**
- **Editorial Street Cred**: 1-2 years in editing, publishing, content development, or a related field. Even if you’re fresh out of college but can spot a dangling modifier in the wild _without_ Googling it, we _still_ want to hear from you.
- **Production Know-How**: You don’t have to be a typesetting wizard, but if you know how words make their way from a manuscript to a beautifully designed book (or screen), that’s a big plus.
- **Style Savvy**: If _The Chicago Manual of Style_ isn’t just a book but a trusted sidekick in your editing adventures, we’re already impressed.
- **Research Skills**: You can dig deep, analyse market trends, and uncover insights that help shape smarter publishing decisions.
- **Passion for Learning and Books**: Because at the end of the day, that’s what we’re all about.

**Why You’ll Love Working with Us**
- **Be Part of a Growing Publishing House**: Play an integral role in a fast-moving, innovative team.
