Job description

Allison & Busby is recruiting a Publishing Assistant to join our small and energetic team. The successful candidate will report to the Publishing Director and their varied duties will include:

• Preparing manuscripts for copy-editing
• Liaising with some authors, and all freelance copyeditors and proofreaders
• Checking corrections from authors/editors/proofreaders and incorporating into a final manuscript
• Typesetting in InDesign
• Checking text and cover files before production and once at the printers
• Uploading files to our ebook partners, approving work orders for conversion, and sending corrections as required
• Working with the marketing team to maintain and update the Biblio system
• Contributing to the weekly sales/marketing meeting
• Maintaining production schedule

You will be joining a very busy team where flexibility and collaboration is key. We are looking for someone who has truly excellent attention to detail and time management skills. Some prior experience in publishing would be an advantage but is not essential. Fluency in InDesign and Adobe Creative Cloud is a necessity.

The role will be based at our central London office, near Oxford Street.
