Job Posting - Editorial Assistant (NYC)

[rhivolution]

Since I know some of you might be interested/qualified and might not be on Twitter...

SFF publisher Tor Books (a division of Macmillan) is looking to hire an editorial assistant in their New York office.

No specific experience required, just good writing skills, the ability to work under pressure, and an understanding of genre and non-SFF lit.

If I was near there, I'd totally go for this, but instead, I pass it on to you.

Gah. That would be my dream job too! Unfortunately, I live in Germany.

+1. the little organiser monster cries in joy then cries in sadness when it realises we're still in school.

Fear not, there will be editorial assistant positions in the future (after all, people usually do not stay that for their entire lives, thank fuck). But I hear you, having your hands tied sucks.

Yeah, definitely NOT relocating for that. Four years ago, I totally would have.

"Excellent writing skills is a must; good sense of grammar and punctuation are essential"

o_____O Is they now??

I would totally apply for this, except i really don't think Andy's going to agree to give up HIS dream job to move us across the country for the paycheck i'd earn as an editorial assistant.

Also: Don't really want to work that closely to Patrick Nielsen Hayden.

Heh, I am completely against the NYC cost of living, to be honest, on sheer principle. Kudos if you can make it work, but having been raised in Milwaukee, I Do Not Approve.

I'd forgot the NHs were the Tor people. Do I fail at SF now?
