Common Notions is a publishing house and programming platform that advances new formulations of liberation and living autonomy. Our books provide timely reflections, clear critiques, and inspiring strategies that amplify movements for social justice. We’re based in Brooklyn, NY and members of the Common Notions team work from our space in the Interference Archive as well as remotely.
We are a small team whose members balance our work for the press between other full-time jobs, freelance design, writing, and research, and teaching schedules—as well as our involvements in political movement life. We are currently looking for someone to help our small press expand its reach by leading our marketing efforts on a part-time basis. The ideal candidate has experience in radical publishing, activism, and marketing and is knowledgeable of the U.S. media landscape.
Responsibilities include (but are not limited to):
- Creating and implementing general and title-specific marketing campaigns
- Coordinating social media strategies
- Obtaining book reviews, author interviews, and other traditional marketing press
- Developing relationships with booksellers
- Planning special events
- Learn with and contribute to autonomous political currents
- Ability to help build and shape the publishing house in its activities
Common Notions has office space in the Interference Archive in Brooklyn. While some of our team works remotely (South Africa, e.g.), we expect that this position involves contributions to our shared working space and so give strong preference to candidates available for work and meetings in New York for ten hours per week. Pay starts at $20 per hour for first six months.
To apply, please email info@commonnotions.org with a resumé and cover letter/brief note about your experience and interest in working with our press.
We strongly encourage people of color, women, and queer, transgender, and gender non-confirming and non-binary individuals to apply.
