Are you a stickler for punctuation and accuracy? Can you add sense and spice to poorly structured sentences? Have you got what it takes to work in a small department of a cutting edge publishing company? Future Publishing is looking for a Production Assistant to work in its new Bookazines department to work on a diverse range of titles published globally in print and on tablet.

As Production Assistant you'll be part of a small team delivering bookazines for print overseas covering a wide variety of new subject areas. You'll create flatplans of reuse bookazines and work closely with the Designer to organise an efficient workflow system for each bookazine. Managing multiple schedules, you'll play a key role in organising the team ensuring each bookazine is delivered on time and to a high level of accuracy. You'll sub-edit InDesign pages, ensure consistency of repurposed content, as well as having the opportunity to write compelling coverlines, introductions and contents pages.
