Are you a dynamic creative writer or editor interested in the publishing industry? Do you communicate well with others? Do you want to use your skills to help people share their stories with the world? If you answered yes to any of these questions, we want to hear from you!
BrightRay Publishing offers an all-inclusive publishing service, meaning we write, edit, publish, distribute, and publicize books for industry executives, academics, celebrities, and all-around-interesting people.
Our clients have books in their heads that they just can’t finish, either because they lack book writing experience, they need an outside perspective, or they’re too busy running their businesses. BrightRay’s team of professionals guides clients through every aspect of the writing and publishing processes from the initial outline all the way through cover design. The books we write promote our clients, build their brands, establish them as industry experts, and lead to exclusive opportunities only a book can provide.
As a remote, full-time writer for BrightRay, you will write, revise, and engage with a variety of subjects—from recipes to industry memoirs to business advice (and everything in between). As such, we are looking for someone experienced in writing, editing, grammar, and spelling who employs excellent communication skills and is passionate about their craft.
What You’ll Do
- Produce thoughtfully written prose in a collaborative environment while ensuring the timely completion of projects and company objectives.
- Learn and write about a wide range of topics while working with diverse industry leaders.
- Host weekly interviews with clients to understand book content and receive feedback on previous drafts.
- Adopt and write in different client voices, maintaining a consistent tone throughout each manuscript.
What You’ll Bring
- Exceptional writing, editing, grammar, and spelling skills with an added bonus if you are familiar with the Chicago Manual of Style.
- Excellent communication skills when advising, coaching, and strategizing with business professional clients.
- Attention to detail, both in your writing and also not allowing important tasks or details to slip through the cracks or derail a project.
- Adaptability with the flexibility to adjust quickly to changing priorities and devise effective solutions to unique client problems or challenges.
