MEDIA COORDINATOR
_DO YOU LOVE BEING THE ONE PEOPLE CAN RELY ON WHEN THEY WANT RESULTS? _
_DO YOU LOVE READING THE NEWS, SCROLLING TWITTER, AND TALKING ABOUT CURRENT EVENTS? _
_WHEN YOU WATCH A MOVIE, ARE YOU THE FRIEND WHO'S RESEARCHING WHERE YOU'VE SEEN THE ACTORS BEFORE? _
IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU, WE'VE GOT YOUR PERFECT CAREER.
This is the right fit for someone interested in PR, marketing, and book publishing. We're looking for someone investigative and independent, who LOVES research projects and creative brainstorming, and who doesn't want to have to run errands at an agency in exchange for learning the ropes.
In the Media Coordinator role, you'll help us execute successful marketing plans for our authors' books. You'll work closely with our Author Marketing Managers to implement project strategy, secure media attention, and bring our authors' ideas to the world.
The role basically breaks down like this:
In a way, you'll be the Robin to the Author Marketing Manager's Batman. You're not responsible for creating strategy, but your skills and problem solving powers help drive the kinds of results our authors sign up for.
This is NOT for someone who wants to execute the same cookie-cutter service over and over. This role is for a motivated person looking for an incredible opportunity to use their drive to learn invaluable skills and advance quickly.
If that describes you, come get it.
WHO ARE WE AND WHAT DO WE DO?
We're SCRIBE MEDIA, and our mission is to help everyone on earth write, publish and market their book.
The problem is that writing and publishing books are, for most people, a painful and difficult process, loaded with uncertainty and aggravation. Our goal is to make it as simple as possible, so that as many people as possible can do it.
We have multiple ways we help people do this. We can edit and publish an already written manuscript (Scribe Publishing), or we can help people write their book using a structured process with our guidance (Scribe Guided Author), or we can do a structured interview process that gets the book out of them in their words and their voice (Scribe Professional).
And if you can't afford our services, that's fine. We give away all of our information for free. Seriously, it's called Scribe Book School, and it's better than any paid course on the internet.
You can see some press about us here.
And you can see some of the books we've already published here.
WHY OUR WORK MATTERS
Our company was started because a frustrated entrepreneur wanted to put all of her incredible knowledge and ideas into a book, but didn't have the time to write it or the patience to deal with the frustrating publishing process. So we solved her problem. The origin story is here.
Her book became an amazing success, and we realized the world was full of these people--smart people who should write a book, but don't, because the process is so painful.
These people want to write books, but don't have the time or desire to do it the old way, and that's why Scribe exists: we help people turn their ideas into books that both cement their legacy and impact the world.
Our process has worked for over 2,000 authors in seven years, and we're growing fast. Our ultimate goal is to _HELP EVERYONE ON EARTH WRITE AND PUBLISH A BOOK. _
If we do that, we'll help create many thousands of books that would never have otherwise existed, changing the lives of millions of people. That's really exciting to us.
To see what we mean, here are some author success stories and videos of authors talking about what their books mean to them, and to their readers.
But if you really want to see why we do this...just watch this video of an author we worked with, Philip McKernan.
