Do you love your children's books and licensed magazines?

Do you have any creative ideas to make them better?

Do you know the names of all the trains on the island of Sodor?

Egmont UK, the British division of the billion-dollar Scandanavian publishing powerhouse, needs an editor for 9 months while one of their editors is on maternity leave.

Egmont UK publishes tons of licensed-character books, usually based on popular TV shows, including Thomas the Tank Engine, Ben 10, Waybuloo, Guess with Jess, Postman Pat, Fireman Sam and Bob the Builder.
 
If you can multitask, have a cheery disposition and a love-love relationship with this type of subject matter, you might be able to roll this 9 month gig into something more longterm.

But for now, you'll be expected to "develop children’s storybooks, colouring & activity books, and novelty books ranging from touch and feel, lift-the-flaps and magnet books to innovative new digital formats. The day-to-day work involves copywriting, page planning, proof checking and liaising with brand managers and high-profile licensors."

You'll have to hurry, though. Applications have to be in by November 5th and that day is, well, almost now.

Good luck, British job seekers!
