Job of the Week
Remote/London £100,000pa+, plus bonuses
Executive Editor (Non-fiction/Business) Kevin Anderson & Associates Ltd
Enjoy the fun, creative, and meaningful work that drew you to a career in publishing, but without the corporate politics, unnecessary meetings, red tape or daily commute. Join the fast-growing team of former publishers and commissioning editors at KAA and spend your working hours actually editing books and working with authors. The role of executive editor will focus exclusively on
hands-on creative work with authors, agents and publishers, including building books from the ground up and evaluating and editing full-length manuscripts and pitch materials. As well as the opportunity to help writers typically shut out by traditional publishing, there will also be the potential of big titles with major publishers. The ideal candidate will have been involved in the publication of multiple Sunday Times bestsellers and will have experience with a variety of genres, though we are most interested in an editor with a strong background in non-fiction, specifically smart thinking, business and leadership. There will also be an opportunity to participate in our Tuscan Writer Retreats, so a candidate who would be comfortable and enthused by the chance to work face-to-face with a select group of authors would be preferable. This role also includes cultivating and nurturing potential and existing client relationships with agents, publishers, editors and authors. Considerable sales commission bonuses will be granted for bringing in any business related to our firm’s services.
