JOIN THE WTAW PRESS TEAM

Working with WTAW Press offers an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in independent publishing, collaborate with a small literary team, and contribute your talents and ideas to bringing books and writers to readers.

We welcome inquiries about the following positions. 

SOCIAL MEDIA ASSISTANT

As the Social Media Assistant, you'll have the opportunity to develop your creative and communication skills while gaining firsthand experience in book marketing and promotion.

Responsibilities include developing and maintaining our social media calendars; creating graphics, videos, and written content that aligns with the WTAW ethos; engaging with and building our online community; and helping promote our books, authors, and events.

PUBLISHING ASSISTANT

As the Publishing Assistant, you’ll gain experience in diverse aspects of independent publishing, from editorial and production, to marketing and communications. 

Responsibilities include drafting and editing newsletter content, creating promotional materials, support event planning and fundraising; conducting research; and supporting special projects.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

We're interested in candidates who write and communicate well and enjoy thinking creatively. We value initiative, reliability, and the ability to manage deadlines and work independently. 

An eye for design, proficiency managing social media accounts, and experience in publishing or nonprofit work may be especially useful, depending on the position. Familiarity with Canva or similar design tools are a plus, but strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and enthusiasm are essential.

ELIGIBILITY AND COMPENSATION

All positions are part time and remote. Open roles are not salaried staff positions, but those who complete the minimum contractual period receive a modest financial stipend. For students eligible to receive academic credit, WTAW will provide the necessary documentation. We strongly encourage candidates of all backgrounds to apply.

HOW TO APPLY

Please complete the Submittable form and be prepared to provide a brief explanation of your interest in WTAW and how your qualifications align with our mission. A current resume outlining your relevant experience is also required. 

For social media applicants, you will be asked to include links to accounts you've managed or examples of content you've created. 

Thank you for your interest in WTAW Press!
