A lot of people are quitting their jobs these days and considering new careers. Why not follow your passion into numismatics and collectibles? Last week we noted that Stack's Bowers was hiring; this week it's Whitman Publishing.
-Editor
Whitman Publishing seeks to hire an editor to work on books in the antiques-and-collectibles and American history fields. The position is full-time and on-site in the company's Pelham, Alabama, office (just outside Birmingham).
A degree in a subject related to publishing (e.g., English, communications, writing) is required; and a strong background in technical writing, scientific writing, or cataloging will be useful.
For the main project involved in this position, the associate editor will fulfill all editorial duties, from macro to micro: project management (including managing processes, files, and people [freelance writers, subject-matter experts, and others]), writing, copyediting, photo research, editing spreadsheets and converting data to composition-ready Word files, and proofreading laid-out pages.
It's a challenging but rewarding position for the right person. See the article online for more, including the refreshingly transparent optional qualification of "Proven ability to work with a variety of authors, from novice to highly experienced, and from good-natured to cantankerous."
