Unsolicited Press is on the hunt for a publicist to work closely with our authors and secure meaningful press coverage. In this role, you’ll have plenty of independence, so a strong focus and self-motivation are key. This position is remote, with team check-ins on Zoom every few weeks.

• Developing and executing tailored publicity plans for our authors

• Crafting press releases, press kits, and social media posts

• Building and maintaining relationships with journalists to score media spots

• Pitching fresh story ideas to the media

• Coordinating readings, book signings, and other author events

• Organizing and refining talking points for interviews and appearances

We’re seeking an experienced book sales representative to join our team. Unsolicited Press is entirely volunteer-run, but we’re open to a commission-based arrangement given the nature of this role.

The ideal candidate will have existing relationships with accounts. Our books are a hit in indie bookstores; we’ve simply grown and need an extra hand to pitch to the trade, including retailers, academics, and libraries.

Unsolicited Press is looking for editors with expertise in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. You’ll handle line edits, copy edits, and work within deadlines to help bring our books to life.

Experience is required (translation: no need for professional editing credentials, but we do need evidence that you can edit books). We welcome candidates from a variety of professional backgrounds—diverse perspectives are a big plus!

We are always on the look out for folks who can read submissions.
