Are you someone who instantly sees the unique attributes of a person?

Do you really enjoy connecting people who share common interests?

Do you love creative storytelling?

If this sounds like you, we've got your perfect career.

If we already captured your attention and this sounds like your dream role, we expect you to read the entire career description before you apply!

This is the right fit for someone interested in PR, marketing, and sharing great stories. We’re looking for someone investigative, independent, and who enjoys storytelling.

This role supports the Author Impact team in providing a critical service to our Author’s by generating a steady cadence of media opportunities to advance our authors’ thought leadership and visibility with key audiences.

Here’s how it works:

Our Author Impact Specialists will create a media outreach plan to secure media coverage and create great connections for our Authors. Then your work begins!

You’ll start by doing your homework on the Author; What’s their story? What’s interesting about them? What’s the heart of their message?

Then it’s time to understand their audience; What kind of people are in this audience? What are they interested in? How could the Author help them?

Now it’s time to do what you do best: write kickass pitches to actually land the opportunity!

This role is NOT for someone who wants to execute the same cookie-cutter service over and over. This is for a motivated person looking for an incredible opportunity to use their invaluable writing and storytelling skills to drive results.

If you can nail that, you're probably pretty awesome, which brings us to an important question:

Who are we and what do we do?

We’re Scribe Media, and our mission is to help everyone on earth write, publish and market their book.

The problem is that writing and publishing books are, for most people, a painful and difficult process, loaded with uncertainty and aggravation. Our goal is to make it as simple as possible, so that as many people as possible can do it.

We have multiple ways we help people do this. We can edit and publish an already written manuscript (Scribe Publishing), or we can help people write their book using a structured process with our guidance (Scribe Guided Author), or we can do a structured interview process that gets the book out of them in their words and their voice (Scribe Professional).

And if you can't afford our services, that's fine. We give away all of our information for free. Seriously, it's called Scribe Book School, and it's better than any paid course on the internet.

You can see some press about us here.

And you can see some of the books we've already published here.

Why our work matters

Our company was started because a frustrated entrepreneur wanted to put all of her incredible knowledge and ideas into a book, but didn't have the time to write it or the patience to deal with the frustrating publishing process. So we solved her problem. The origin story is here.

Her book became an amazing success, and we realized the world was full of these people--smart people who should write a book, but don’t, because the process is so painful.

These people want to write books, but don't have the time or desire to do it the old way, and that's why Scribe exists: we help people turn their ideas into books that both cement their legacy and impact the world.

Our process has worked for over 2,000 authors in seven years, and we’re growing fast. Our ultimate goal is to help everyone on earth write and publish a book.

If we do that, we'll help create many thousands of books that would never have otherwise existed, changing the lives of millions of people. That's really exciting to us.

To see what we mean, here are some author success stories and videos of authors talking about what their books mean to them, and to their readers.

But if you really want to see why we do this...just watch this video of an author we worked with, Philip McKernan.

What’s it like working with Scribe?

We're not going to try to pitch you a load of corporate doublespeak bullshit about how great we are. Instead, we’ll just show you proof.

Necessary Skills & Qualifications

Here is the list of skills we believe are necessary for this career.

• A Solid Understanding of PR & Marketing Communications: This position is for PR & marketing professionals who have at least 1 year of experience in a copywriting or PR position. You are dynamic and agile - you understand how to navigate the ever-changing media landscape and how to - wait for it - drive RESULTS.
• You Are Self-Motivated, Organized, and Detail-Oriented: This is an absolute must. You must be the definition of a doer and very self-motivated. You thrive when you can manage yourself and your workload without someone looking over your shoulder. You must be able to stay organized and keep details straight, or it ruins an Author's experience at THE most crucial time. This is so important, that in the application where it asks you 'What is your favorite animal?', answer with 'Attention to detail is my middle name.' Seriously. We can't stress impeccable attention to detail enough.
• Problem Solver: We expect you to be self-sufficient; if you do end up stumped on something, you should feel comfortable using all the resources available to you to find the solution, including your team.
• Optimistic and Courageously Curious: You deeply enjoy getting to know more about people and their ideas! You’re open-minded, service-oriented, and optimistic. You want to know how everything works. You’re not afraid to challenge the status quo and you aren’t afraid to ask questions to really understand the big picture and get it right the first time.
• Excellent Communicator: You are masterful at summarizing complex topics, both in speaking and writing. You are engaging and clear when communicating, are energized by fielding unexpected questions, and are proactive in sharing updates with your team.

Salary & Benefits

• Competitive Pay: Payment will be a flat rate per assignment and will be determined by the size of the assignment.
  • Light: $50 - 1 Pitch
  • Medium $120 - 2 to 3 Pitches
  • Heavy: $200 - 4 to 5 Pitches

Yes, I know what you're thinking—if you are a successful freelancer this is probably less than your normal rate. But, remember that the reason you have to charge $100-$150 an hour to regular clients is because you have to bake into your fee all the unpaid time you spent finding the client, negotiating your deal, admin work, etc. Working with us, there is none of that unpaid time. What most freelancers find is that though the hourly rate is a little less with us, they actually make more money in total, and their quality of life goes up because they are doing less work that they don't like.

• Be Part of a Crew: This role is intended to begin as freelance, but there is real potential to move to full time, given you want this and you do a great job. We see ourselves as a crew of people who are working hard together to accomplish a specific mission (help everyone on earth write, publish and market their book), in service of a larger purpose (help people share their story and leave a legacy of impact on others). We also have a pretty cool set of principles that we live by as a crew, you should check it out.
• Freedom: You can work from anywhere—we don't care. We only care that you have reliable phone and internet connections and that you do your job well.
• Fun & Fast-Paced Work: We don’t have boring days. Some are hectic, some are hard, some are incredibly rewarding...but they are never boring and never exactly the same. That's what happens when you're solving real problems for people.
• Work with Interesting People: Past authors include major company CEOs, famous entrepreneurs, professional athletes, and people with amazing personal stories.
