Candidates should possess strong organizational, communication, and analytical skills with a keen eye for detail. No previous publishing experience is required, but a passion for books and the ability to manage multiple tasks under pressure are essential.
A great new opportunity has arisen for a proactive and detail-orientated individual to join the Michael Joseph and Transworld Production teams as a Production Assistant.
Michael Joseph and Transworld both publish a broad range of books across fiction and non-fiction, commercial and literary, and are home to an exciting array of authors: including Marian Keyes, Dr Julie Smith, Devney Perry, SenLin Yu and Stephen Fry for MJ, and Lee Child, Dan Brown, Kate Atkinson, Sable Sorensen and Ruth Jones for Transworld.
Working closely with both internal colleagues and our external suppliers, you’ll help bring our books to readers by delivering reprints, reissues and non-trade projects. You’ll make sure each project runs smoothly from start to finish – on time, within budget and to the high standards our books deserve.
Key responsibilities:
Take ownership of the Michael Joseph and Transworld backlist catalogues, helping to look after books that have already been published and ensuring they continue to reach readers.

Enthusiasm for learning and developing your skills – no previous publishing experience is required.

Please ensure you include a cover letter, as it is a crucial part of our assessment process. The cover letter offers an opportunity to show how your experience and interests align with the role requirements. Typically, we expect the cover letter to be no more than one or two pages in length.
