Publicist

We're No Starch Press, publisher of unique and best-selling tech books and among the fastest growing independent book publishers in the U.S. Our books are compelling, with a lot of promotion potential. Several are best sellers already (Steal This Computer Book, Hacking: The Art of Exploitation, My New Mac,The Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide), and we have several future best sellers on the way (How Wikipedia Works, The Google Way, and a new edu-manga series that's going to get a lot of attention). All of our books have something to say -- or something to be said about them.

We're looking for someone special to publicize our books. Someone who can hit the ground running but also break new ground. You should be self-motivated and entrepreneurial. You don't understand the meaning of "we've never done it that way," or "that's not the way book publicity is done." You know that the world of marketing is changing, there are new opportunities daily, and you want to explore them.

You'll pitch to media (in print and online), develop and implement publicity campaigns, write cover and catalog copy, draft marketing materials, write press releases, and follow-up (phone and email). You'll be one of our public faces and may represent us at shows.

We're distributed in the U.S. by O'Reilly Media (oreilly.com), one of the top computer book publishers in the U.S. You'll work work closely with all of us (we're a small company) as well as O'Reilly's marketing people to take our publishing program to the next level.

Requirements: Two years' book marketing/publicity experience. A penchant for geeks. You must be an excellent writer and communicator with a creative flair.
