- Editing pre-samples of books from established clients

5. Communication. That is a big one, because this is a remote work arrangement. It includes the ability for us to call you if necessary, although 90% of our communication will be via email or IM.

Again, this is a remote work arrangement- there is no travel required for this position, unless you want to visit us in our offices (which is completely optional).
Finally, can you start immediately? The topic of the book for now is confidential, but its launch is directly tied to the Thanksgiving Holiday, meaning that the bulk of the work needs to be done early in the semester, and the holiday will provide us with a natural boost in sales throughout the months of October and November.

The actual topic of the book will be revealed during the first interview.

Thank you,
