We are passionate publishers of a diverse list of commercial fiction – from magical literary fantasy to historical fiction based on true stories like THE LIBRARIAN OF AUSCHWITZ to genre fiction including sagas. We are looking for a talented and creative Editor or Assistant Editor to join our small fiction team here at Ebury.
Reporting directly to the publishing director for fiction, you’ll manage all processes of book production from acquisition to publication, liaising with authors, agents and the wider fiction team/Entertainment Hub.
