JOB OVERVIEW

Forest City Publications is a growing independent publishing company that helps authors develop, publish, and market their books professionally.

I am looking for a smart, highly organized Publishing Operations Coordinator to help keep client projects and daily business activities moving smoothly.

Every author, book, and project is different, and I work in a highly individualized way. I am looking for someone who can understand the larger context, learn quickly, and help turn complex projects into clear next steps.

Possible Responsibilities

Organize project information and files

Follow up on missing materials or decisions
Prepare routine client communications

Assist with publishing platforms, metadata, and publication tasks

The exact responsibilities can be shaped around the strengths and experience of the right person. You do not need to arrive knowing every part of the role. If we are a strong fit, there will be opportunities to train into additional responsibilities over time.

You May Be a Good Fit If You:
Have experience in publishing operations, project coordination, executive support, or client services
Learn new systems quickly
Are highly organized and attentive to detail
Communicate clearly and professionally
Work independently and use good judgment
Notice missing information and logical next steps
Follow through without repeated reminders

Experience with independent publishing, Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, manuscript preparation, metadata, or author support is preferred.

Position Details

Long-term opportunity
Approximately 40 hours per week

Compensation: $5-7/hr, depending on experience
