It’s rare to see a job like this pop up on the internets. These are usually handled internally, a recommendation from an insider or a nod to a prior intern.

Future Publishing, in Bath, England, is looking for an Editorial Assistant, a position that they claim has a competitive salary with excellent benefits. The job will have you working across all sections of three of their publications: SFX, Comic Heroes and SFX Specials. According to the post, “Most of your time will be spent writing entertaining and authoritative copy, particularly reviews and news. So if you know your Captain Britain from your Captain Jack and your Flash from your Flash Gordon, this could be the role for you!”

Their requirements are pretty simple, since this is an entry-level position. They want a “fantastic and well organized writer” with a “passion and knowledge of sci-fi.”

In addition to their benefits package, they promise the “chance to work with some of Future’s most experienced editorial staff and best writers as well as making significant contribution across the magazines at every level.”

You’d better hurry. I caught this late and the job listing expires on Monday, August 16.

Bath, by the way, is a very charming city with an excellent old-school town center.
