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
