What you’ll be doing
Dialogue’s radical commercial imprint Renegade Books is looking for a commercially savvy, creative and strategic Editor to build a list focused on romance, women’s fiction and zeitgeisty hits, and independently project manage titles across the Renegade list.

This is a unique and exciting opportunity for someone who wants to proactively build a new list and hold important desk editing responsibilities within a brand-new imprint and division.

We are looking for someone who is passionate and knowledgeable about Romance and all its subgenres - from sexy contemporary romance to sweeping historical romance, spellbinding romantasy to steamy sports romance, and everything in between. In addition, we’re looking for an editor to acquire a small number of commercial women’s fiction, crime and romantic comedy titles - it’s vital they have a genuine interest in BookTok and the genres that are catching fire on TikTok. Having a finger on the pulse of this burgeoning platform will be key for this role.

Who we are looking for
Responsibilities:

- Commissioning new titles and managing backlist and a select number of front-list titles to ensure publishing lists meet identified market needs
- Providing authors and agents with the highest standard of care
- Project managing titles to critical path and liaising with other departments to ensure smooth and effective publishing process
- Working independently to project manage titles: responsibility for copy-editing, checking permissions and proofreading to schedule, budget and exceptional standards

**Requirements**:

- Experience in editing fiction and managing the publishing process
- Confidence in managing workload and to be a proactive self-starter
- Ability to work quickly and decisively, taking decisions and putting them into action
- Relevant market knowledge
- Excellent negotiating skills
- High-level editorial competency
- Proven publishing experience in Editorial or Commissioning or Sales/Marketing/Publicity functions

What we offer
Our staff are our greatest asset and our benefits reflect this. In addition to 28 days annual leave days per year + bank holidays, we have an extensive list of benefits that include: a wide-ranging training library, development programmes including mentoring, Cycle to Work vouchers, Private Medical Insurance, eye care vouchers, up to 70% off book purchases, a charity book shelf, 2 community days per year, many employee networks to join, summer hours (finishing at 1pm on Fridays during the summer months), season ticket loans, rent deposit loans, generous pension schemes and much more

The role will be based at our London office, Carmelite House, with a blend of in-office (3 days) and homeworking (2 days) per week.

Our Commitment
Hachette employs people on the basis of their abilities. We aim to attract and develop talent from a base as broad as the world of readers we want to reach, with a wide and representative range of age, faith, disability, race, gender, sexuality and socio-economic, regional and cultural backgrounds.

If you are shortlisted and need us to make any adjustments to help you attend for interview, please let us know.

Who we are and what we do
Renegade Books is Dialogue’s commercial imprint, where we publish the very best fiction and non-fiction for mass-market audiences. We are dedicated to radical inclusion, pairing real commercial ambition with our activist core. What we do is inherently political - we believe that books can change the world, and our tagline is ‘books that break rules’, which sums up our rebellious spirit.

We’re an imprint with a difference; publishing stories for everyone and publishing them boldly. Our promise is to break the mould, reach readers that mainstream publishing has neglected, and forge new routes to market, with a laser-focus on high-potential commercial hits.

**About Dialogue**

Dialogue’s mission is driven by innovation, inclusion and inspiration. Home to a variety of voices often excluded from the mainstream, Dialogue is dedicated to sparking conversation across a range of genres and narratives. We believe that the power of storytelling can create a more nuanced conversation about past, present and future experiences in our world and our aim is to share our stories with all across society.
