We’re a collaborative team of book lovers who believe in creativity, curiosity, and making books that truly matter. In this role, you’ll work closely with acquiring editors to shepherd a wide range of romance titles from concept to publication. You’ll contribute to the creative development of bestselling romantic fiction, help shape compelling packages for readers, and keep projects moving with precision and care.

  • Write engaging catalog, jacket, and marketing copy, and manage updates across company databases
  • Support acquiring editors and publishing managers as a key partner in positioning new products—shaping content, category, titling, and more
  • Maintain editorial schedules and collaborate with internal and external partners to ensure timely execution
  • Assist with general editorial tasks, including clerical work, correspondence, shipping, and editorial corrections
  • Help manage weekly and monthly reporting, including sales data tracking

Requirements

  • A deep love of books and a passionate, demonstrable love of modern adult romance
  • 1–2 years of publishing experience preferred
  • A willingness to learn and grow within a dynamic editorial environment
  • A self-starter mentality with initiative, curiosity, and a desire to build toward acquiring your own romance list
  • Comfort speaking in front of groups and building strong relationships across teams and with external partners
  • A positive, collaborative spirit
  • Exceptional communication skills and the ability to juggle short- and long-term projects effectively and with great speed
  • Excellent grammar skills with a sharp eye for errors big and small
  • Strong knowledge of book production processes, from concept through publication, is a significant advantage
  • A voracious reading habit in adult romance, with strong familiarity with traditional and indie authors, tropes, trends, and community conversations

Nice to have

  • 1–2 years of publishing experience
  • internships, freelance work, and other editorial experiences count
  • Strong knowledge of book production processes, from concept through publication
