Description

Love writing and want to turn pro? We are a large, established copywriting agency with a new publishing arm. We are looking for a writer who wants to turn professional to begin an internship & work experience program, leading to a position within both companies. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to jump right up the ladder, and become a professional within as little as 12 weeks. The Position We need someone who can help us take our new publishing company to the next level, and also help us cope with an overflow of copywriting clients. - Creative writing work for clients, and preparing books for publication. - Reading submissions & finding new authors and work to publish. - Marketing including blog posts, tweets and social media campaigns. - Dealing with customers, inquiries and sales leads. This is wholly virtual, you can work from anywhere, but must be able to commit to a full time position - a minimum of 40 hours per week. You will be trained intensively and will have the help of two senior writers & editors. We are expanding very quickly, and while this is a fantastic opportunity it is a pressurised environment during this process. The Benefits Your writing career. We realise an internship is a big commitment, and the best way we can help our interns is to make a real investment in their writing careers. During your program we will: a) Help you write, develop and edit a book - with professional story meetings, notes and careful tuition. b) Have your work professionally packaged by our typsetters, designers and creative people. c) Put the work on the market, and publish it to all online retailers and in hardcopy format. This is the same service offered to clients for over $15,000, with the added benefit of a one on one mentorship throughout the process. Earn while you intern. Unlike other media companies offering placements, we believe you should earn money while you work with us. You will be given the opportunity to be paid both for successful sales/marketing work which results in new business, and also for client work you write. You can also: · See the writing business from the inside and learn how professionals earn money at all levels. This is a great way to progress from being a talented amateur to actually earning your crust through your writing. · Grow your skills across a wide spectrum of writen work. We are a global outfit, with customers from the US, Middle East, Europe, Asia and South America, and we have two offices, one in the UK and one in Los Angeles. The range of our writing work is extensive and we maintain excellent links with the film and publishing worlds.
