Join a team of named specialists
UGA only hires specialists who own their lane. Bring your portfolio, your references, and your standards.
Requirements to apply
We don't review applications without these — it's the only way we keep the work standard high for every author who hires us.
- A portfolio of past book-marketing, design, or publishing work (links or PDF).
- 5 author references we can quietly verify — under strict NDA, never shared.
- Demonstrated specialist skill in one lane (KDP, BookTok, ARC, ads, design, distribution).
- Working English, async communication, reliable response time.
- Comfortable on a video call interview and a paid trial brief.

If both sides are happy, you join the team as a named specialist with your own page on this site.
NDA first, always
We sign an NDA before you share portfolios or references. Your work is yours.
No spec work
Trial briefs are paid. If we want to see how you work, we pay for the time.
References stay private
Authors who vouch for you are never shared with other clients or shown publicly.
Common questions
Why do you need 5 author references?
Because our entire model is based on accountable specialists. Anyone can claim experience; references are how we verify it. We treat every reference as confidential and never share their contact with other authors.
Are you hiring full-time, contract, or both?
Both. Most specialists start contract for their first 90 days, then move into a long-term role if the fit is right.
Do you work remotely?
Yes — the entire team is remote. We coordinate via WhatsApp, Slack, and async video updates.
What if I'm a strong generalist?
We hire specialists, not generalists. If you do five things at a 6/10, that's not a fit. If you do one thing at a 9/10 — KDP, BookTok, ARC, design, ads, or distribution — we want to talk.
