2 weeks ago
Associate Scout (adult trade publishing & TV/film)
The company
Daniela Schlingmann Literary Scouting Ltd. works with a host of outstanding international publishers around the world to find the very best of fiction, non-fiction and children's books from the U.K. and the US to be published in translation, and to be adapted for film and TV.
Our offices are based in Bayswater, just north of Kensington Gardens, in Central London.
Job title
Associate Scout (adult trade publishing & tv/film)
The role
We are a small, friendly and nurturing team looking for an energetic and hard-working Associate Scout to work alongside the scouts in our adult scouting team. They will help find and report on key fiction and non-fiction titles from the UK and US to our international publisher clients and our film and tv clients. Key responsibilities include building a network of industry contacts and using it to pull in new projects, building strong relationships with our clients and communicating with them on a daily basis, and providing general administrative support to the adult team. As we work closely with the U.S. market, some liaising with US contacts may be required outside of regular work hours.
The ideal candidate
Scouting is exciting, varied and very fast-paced, so we are looking for someone highly organised and diligent, who is able to remain cool-headed in a busy working environment. They should show good judgement, communicate well and enjoy working as part of a team.
The ideal candidate will be passionate about, and experienced in, adult trade publishing – a particular interest or prior experience in the areas of commercial fiction, commercial non-fiction, or adaptation for film and TV, would be advantageous. Candidates will have at least 1-2 years’ experience of full-time employment in the publishing industry, and an existing network of relevant contacts is a bonus. They will be a fast and precise reader and be able to report confidently and clearly on the content, style and commercial value of books. A particular interest in translation rights and international markets are very welcome, as are any European languages spoken.
Responsibilities and duties
• Building and maintaining a network of relationships with editor and agent contacts in the UK and US. Scheduling and attending meetings with them regularly throughout the year.
• Reading submissions and writing and proofreading related reports, to tight deadlines.
• Liaising with clients to inform them of titles and answer their queries.
• Entering key information onto our database, requesting and chasing materials, logging responses from clients.
• Collaborating with the scouts to take meetings and obtain information about key titles in advance of and in preparation for book fairs.
• Assisting with bookfair organisation, by scheduling appointments for both the DSLS team and our clients and attending as required.
• Representing DSLS by attending industry events.
