· 1–2 years of experience in book production, editorial assistance, project coordination, or marketing—academic or art publishing preferred.

· Familiarity with Adobe InDesign and Microsoft Office suite; experience with CRM or email marketing platforms is a plus.

Skills & Competencies

· : Able to juggle multiple titles with varying timelines, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines.

· : Clear, professional writing and verbal skills for liaising with authors, vendors, marketing teams, and internal stakeholders.

· : Sharp eye for typographical errors, layout inconsistencies, and image quality.

· : Comfortable coordinating digital asset delivery and using marketing tools.

· : Team-player who thrives in a small-press environment and embraces cross-functional collaboration.

· : Understanding of basic marketing principles and ability to contribute to promotional strategies and campaigns.

Why Join Us?
