- A non-criminal-history-background because if it works out; we'd like to expand the role to you posting directly into our Social Media sites, which requires a level of trust and honesty.

What you will gain:
- Invaluable experience working with the Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor on exciting Lit Fox projects.
- Being part of a team and growing your knowledge of the publishing world and honing your Social Media skills.

- Ability to create eye-catching, modern, interesting posts both static and video, for the purpose of marketing and highlighting Lit Fox Books.
- Reliability and honesty.

If you love designing Social Media posts. If people tell you that you have a great eye for design. If you are aware of the kinds of Social Media posts that gain attention and have that flare for putting together interesting posts that keep the company being noticed, then we are interested in meeting you.
