Four steps, no fluff. From your first email to a written offer takes about two weeks for staff roles, and roughly a week for freelance trials.

01

You apply

Send us your CV and a short note on why this role. Portfolio links are welcome. We read everything that comes in.

02

Intro call

A half-hour video call with the team lead. We talk about the work, your background, and what the role actually looks like. Ask us anything.

03

Paid trial brief

A short paid task that is pulled from the actual job. Editors copy-edit a chapter. Designers work up a cover concept. Marketers draft a launch outline.

A written offer lands within 48 hours of the trial. For your first month you are paired with someone already in the role, so you have always got someone to ask.

Careers FAQ

Common questions before you apply.

If your question is not covered, drop us an email and we will come back to you within a working day.

Yes, lots of them. Editorial, ghostwriting, design and development are mostly remote or hybrid. Marketing and the publishing assistant role lean hybrid out of our Dublin office. When a role is fully remote, we hire from anywhere in Ireland and sometimes further afield.

Yes. A big share of our editors, ghostwriters, designers and developers work with us per project. Rates are agreed at the start and we pay within 14 days of the invoice.

The Publishing Assistant role is built for people just starting out. We train you in. For editor, designer or ghostwriter roles we look for two to three years of relevant work, or a strong portfolio of finished projects.

About two weeks for permanent positions, from first email to written offer. Freelance trials take roughly a week. Either way, we try to reply to everyone within five working days, even if the answer is no.

A short task pulled from the day job. For editors it is usually a chapter copy-edit. For designers, one or two cover concepts. For marketers, a campaign plan for a book that is actually coming out. We pay a flat fee for the trial whether we hire you or not.

Please do. If you work in editing, ghostwriting, design, marketing or web development, send us your CV and a few samples. We keep a shortlist and get in touch when the right role opens up.
