Dear
Ms Harries,
Assistant
Editor/Desk Editor
I
wish to apply for the above post, advertised in The Bookseller.
Currently
I am working in a new small publishing company, Notions, that
specializes in highly designed, high-quality non-fiction books. Since I started
here I have been the only full-time employee working on all editorial aspects
of the books. Answering directly to the Publishing Director and the Editorial
Director, I have a very wide range of
responsibilities including: editing on screen in Quark and Microsoft Word,
liaising with the designers and freelance editors, checking manuscripts at the
film stage, managing the stationery budget, Americanizing text, as well as
signing off books, having checked the proofs. I have been at Notions for
over a year, and have learnt a great deal, but there is no longer the scope to
use all my knowledge and experience. I am seeking a position that offers
responsibility for the full range of publishing and editorial skills, as well
as the opportunity to meet and work with a range of people. I like to think
that I bring enthusiasm and adaptability to my work. I would welcome the
opportunity to discuss this letter and my enclosed curriculum vitae. The
telephone number I have given is my home one and all calls are answered. I look
forward to hearing from you.
Yours
sincerely,
Jayne
Saunders
