JOB OVERVIEW

We are a publishing company based in the UK. We’re looking to expand our team to include children’s book writers, who will create concepts for and write books aimed at readers 0-5 years.

These will be largely picture-based books, so you are required to write vivid, engaging text for children, along with any directions for the illustrator who will be completing these works. You are given a very loose idea/keyword, and it's up to you to interpret that and create an interesting, strong concept and story for our books.

We want to create interesting, appealing stories, often with a positive message, or an animal-based character, that will appeal to both parents and children to inspire a love of reading from an early age.

We are looking for someone highly creative, who understands the needs of their audience in terms of word choice, narrative and style. While these are very short books, the idea and execution need to be good, and we’re looking to find the right person or people to work with us over the long-term producing books of this type.

Please send any relevant samples, and as much information as possible about your experience for consideration. Candidates who make the shortlist will be asked to join me on Skype for a quick chat, and then we’ll look at completing one or two test books first, before we move on the bigger batch.

This is a long term opportunity, so if you think you’d be a good fit, we’d love to hear from you.
