Careers
JAVAHouse is growing. We are looking for editors, designers, and artists who want to help build it.
Freelance today,
a full house tomorrow
Right now, JAVAHouse works with professional freelancers on a per-project basis. As the catalog grows, we are building toward an in-house editorial and design team, and the people who help us get there will be the first we call.
There are no open postings at this moment. This page is our standing list. Tell us what you do, and when a project fits your craft, we will reach out directly.
- Genre fluency. You read Fantasy and Horror and understand what readers of each expect.
- Care for the work. You treat an author’s voice as something to protect, not overwrite.
- Reliability. Small presses run on deadlines kept and messages answered.
- Remote-ready. All roles are remote. We are based in Mobile, Alabama.
Developmental Editor
Big-picture shaping: structure, pacing, character, and worldbuilding. You help a manuscript become the book it is trying to be.
Copy Editor & Proofreader
Line-level polish: grammar, consistency, and style, plus the final pass before a book goes to print.
Cover Designer
Covers that stop a scroll and hold a shelf. Typography and composition for Fantasy and Horror.
Illustrator
Character art, chapter headers, maps, and art for the Inkwood Society and marketing campaigns.
Interior Designer & Typesetter
Print and ebook interiors that read beautifully. Experience with InDesign, Vellum, or Atticus is a plus.
