Senior Production Editor

The role

You'll production-edit about 35 to 40 adult trade fiction and nonfiction books a year, taking each from manuscript to bound book. That means hiring and managing freelance copyeditors, proofreaders and indexers, resolving queries in page proofs, and checking text, inserts and jackets at every stage. The role asks for seven to ten years as a production editor and expertise with the Chicago Manual of Style.
