We are looking for two freelance publicists—one based in the UK, one based in the US—familiar with literary publicity and marketing, for project-based work in 2015.
The people who fill both positions will be responsible for publicising and attracting interest in Dickinson House and MIEL publications in their respective countries. Strategies and goals will be discussed during interviews with individual candidates, and, upon hiring, will be decided in partnership with the editor/residency director.
These are paid, non-volunteer positions. We have a minimal budget and support the press and residency center with our own employment; as a micropress, we won’t be able to pay what we’d love to. Our budget for each publicist is €250 (total/each), to correspond to €15 per hour.
Interested? Email us (miel.books at gmail dot com) one PDF, titled with your last name, containing a two-page CV detailing your PR experience and connection to the literary community in the US or UK, as well as a brief cover letter that tells us why you’d like to work with us—and what would make us happy to work with you.
Deadline: March 5, 2015.
