Editorial and Production Assistant

Sophie is responsible for commissioning all our titles and will be your main point of contact at Search Press until contracts have been exchanged. At this stage, Sophie and Becky, our Editorial Director, will schedule your book and assign you an in-house editor.

Your editor will then guide your book through to publication, working closely with you at every stage of the process. Their aim is to make the experience as smooth, enjoyable and rewarding as possible, while ensuring that the original vision for your book, agreed with Sophie at the outset, is carried through to publication.
