Join The Book Publicist – A thriving, modern book PR agency with flexibility at its core!

We’re on the lookout for a creative and dynamic PR professional to help bring the ideas of top authors and experts to life! As a Campaigns Manager/Senior Campaigns Manager, you’ll have the opportunity to shape the future of PR for non-fiction books in the UK. But don’t worry about titles—if you’re a talented publicist who’s passionate about books and big ideas, we want to hear from you!

Why Us?
We’re an award-winning, fast-growing agency with a team of 9, leading the way in PR for non-fiction books and thought leaders. We represent some of the most fascinating business, self-development, education, and health titles, working with industry giants like Bloomsbury, FT Publishing, Kogan Page, and Pan Macmillan. Plus, we’re growing fast, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to make your mark and shape your career!

What You’ll Do:

  • Design and execute PR campaigns that capture the spotlight
  • Craft punchy, engaging press releases that journalists can’t ignore
  • Brainstorm fresh, creative ideas and research angles for standout campaigns
  • Write thought-provoking leadership articles and media-friendly ‘top tips’ pieces
  • Provide top-tier care to our authors while managing expectations

Skills & Experience:

We’re looking for someone with at least 3 years’ experience in non-fiction PR, though journalists or PR pros with expert profiling experience are welcome, too! You should also:

  • Be a natural communicator and talented copywriter
  • Have strong relationships with journalists
  • Possess the grit and resilience to get results
  • Thrive in a fast-paced, multitasking environment
  • Love writing persuasive pitches
  • Have a keen interest in current affairs and news trends
  • Enjoy working within a close-knit, fun, and supportive team

Why You’ll Love It Here:
At The Book Publicist, your happiness matters. We’re all about flexibility and making work work for you! This role is remote-first, with regular in-person social events – we’ve done pottery classes, foraging, den building, prison escape rooms and mindfulness. We also enjoy bi-monthly creative days in beautiful Herefordshire, and plenty of chances to connect with your colleagues. You’ll also enjoy:

  • A competitive salary of £28,000 - £36,000 + quarterly bonus
  • Flexible working hours—full-time or part-time considered
  • 20 days annual leave, plus Bank Holidays and bonus time off (including your birthday and the week between Christmas and New Year!)
  • The option to buy back extra holiday
  • Remote working support with travel compensation for meetings
