Love reading, critiquing and writing?
I’m looking for someone:
- To do reading for me and write reader’s reports
- Who can give 10-20 hours a week for 3-6 months
- Who can work remotely
- That likes YA and women’s fiction
- Who ideally has publishing industry experience, is professional, can follow deadlines, and knows what a reader’s report is
Interested? Email a resume, cover letter, your availability, and a list of your 5 favourite authors to info(at)psliterary(dot)com with the subject heading Carly Watters Reader Application. I will accept applications until March 14.
It is an unpaid and remote role, but I will happily give a recommendation for any successful candidates. Ideal role for publishing or writing students, those looking to get into publishing, or those who have a little bit of experience under their belt.

Is publishing experience negotiable in any way? Because I’ve longed to break into the publishing field.

Send over an application anyway. It never hurts.

Hi there Carly … I love your blog and find all your tips really useful. If I were to assess your post using your criteria for queries I’d ask – Are the advantages of this unpaid position obvious? Is this someone I’d like to work for? What is the payoff for me? I know what they might be but, aside from you willing to write a recommendation, I didn’t see that in the post. To be honest, your “call” sounded really “me … me… me”. No offense, just speaking truth to power..

Reblogged this on Radhika Meganathan and commented:
This is not a paid gig, but some of you may love a role like this! I would have applied, if I didn’t have 10 chapter books and 10 short stories to write by the year end :)

It’s too late this time, but I’ll be looking again later in the year. Keep your resume handy.
