I am looking for an experienced graphic designer who can connect the dots between my women's wellness brand and an updated podcast cover art. I am looking to have this completed by July 10th.

About the Project I am an attorney, podcast host, and political commentator with an established audience on YouTube and social media. I have written a full-length political nonfiction book — The Gilded State: How California Went from Personifying the American Dream to an American Nightmare — targeting a Summer 2026 release timed to California's gubernatorial election. The manuscript is complete and currently in final editorial review. I am looking for an experienced self-publishing specialist to take the book from finished manuscript to launch-ready files on both Amazon KDP and IngramSpark. This is a paid, project-based engagement with a firm deadline. Serious applicants only. Scope of Work The ideal candidate will handle some or all of the following — please specify in your proposal which services you offer: Interior Formatting Format manuscript for both print (6x9 trade paperback) and ebook (Kindle) output Chicago Notes and Bibliography style footnotes — this is non-negotiable, and you must have prior experience formatting academic or heavily footnoted nonfiction (not just narrative books with endnotes) Chapter headers, section breaks, front matter (title page, copyright page, dedication, table of contents), and back matter Print-ready PDF for IngramSpark; ebook EPUB/MOBI for KDP Compliance with both KDP and IngramSpark technical specifications Cover Design Front cover, back cover, and spine for trade paperback (print-ready with correct bleed, spine width calculated from final page count) Kindle ebook cover The book is political nonfiction with a serious, marketable tone — comparable titles include San Fransicko by Michael Shellenberger and The Dying Citizen by Victor Davis Hanson. I want a cover that belongs on the same shelf, not a generic template. Please include 2–3 cover concept options Platform Setup (Optional — specify if you offer this) KDP account setup and file upload IngramSpark account setup, ISBN registration guidance, and file submission Metadata optimization (title, subtitle, keywords, BISAC categories) What I'm Looking For Demonstrated experience formatting and launching nonfiction books, specifically books with extensive footnotes or endnotes (please include examples) Prior work on political, history, or current affairs titles is a strong plus Familiarity with both KDP and IngramSpark — not one or the other The ability to communicate clearly and meet hard deadlines — this book has a specific launch window tied to a political calendar A portfolio of finished book covers and interiors you can share I'm also looking for what your favorite restaurant is and why to be included in your response What This Is Not I am not looking for a vanity press or a package-deal publishing service that charges for services I don't need I am not looking for someone who formats only fiction or children's books I am not looking for AI-generated cover designs without a professional designer behind them Timeline The manuscript will be delivered from the editor in late June/early July 2026. Target launch is August 2026. I need someone who can commit to that window and turn around files promptly once the manuscript is in hand. To Apply Please submit: Your proposed scope of services and fixed-price quote (or itemized quote if applying for individual services) 2–3 samples of nonfiction books you have formatted, including at least one with Chicago-style or heavy footnote formatting 2–3 cover design samples for nonfiction titles A brief note on your experience with KDP and IngramSpark specifically Your availability for a July–August 2026 turnaround Budget is negotiable based on scope. I am looking for quality, not the lowest bid.

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY — IMPORTANT DETAILS INCLUDED We are not looking for a generic video editor. We are looking for someone who understands comedy, understands social media psychology, understands audience behavior, and knows how to turn long-form content into highly engaging short-form clips that drive views, engagement, audience growth, and ticket sales. Our agency works with many of the biggest names in stand-up comedy, entertainment, podcasting, and digital media. The content you create will be viewed by millions of people across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and other platforms. This is a fast-paced, high-volume position that requires creativity, speed, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of what makes content perform. COMEDY KNOWLEDGE IS REQUIRED Our agency works with a variety of stand-up comedians. Being able to consume comedy content and understand the fundamentals of joke structure is critical. You should understand: • Setups and punchlines • Callbacks • Crowd work • Tags • Act-outs • Misdirection • Character development within a bit • Timing and pacing One of the most important parts of this role is preserving the integrity of the joke while maximizing its performance on social media. Being funny is not enough. Knowing where to start the clip, how to build curiosity, when to cut, what to remove, and how to maximize retention without ruining the joke is essential. SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT STRATEGY IS REQUIRED We are not interested in assembly-line editors who simply trim clips and add captions. We are looking for editors who understand why content succeeds on social media. You should know how to identify and edit clips that contain: • A strong hook within the first 1-3 seconds • Curiosity and discovery • Escalation and tension • Emotional payoff • A satisfying punchline • Retention-driving edits • Shareability • Watch-time optimization This applies to: • Stand-up comedy clips • Crowd work clips • Podcast clips • Interviews • Talk-to-camera videos • Vlogs • Behind-the-scenes content • Tour content • Promotional content • Advertising creatives You should understand the differences between: • Facebook • Instagram Reels • TikTok • YouTube Shorts • Long-form YouTube content and how content should be packaged differently for each platform. THIS IS A HIGH-VOLUME POSITION You can expect to edit: • 5–6 projects per day • 5–10 clips per project on average • Approximately 25–50 clips per day depending on content type Additional projects regularly include: • Podcast mastering • Long-form YouTube content • Vlogs • Tour recaps • Hype reels • Sizzle reels • Advertising creatives • Promotional videos • Trailer edits • Special marketing campaigns Turnaround times are often tight. You must be comfortable working efficiently while maintaining a high level of quality control. GRAPHIC DESIGN RESPONSIBILITIES While video editing is the primary responsibility of this role, graphic design skills are highly desirable and will be required on a regular basis. Our clients are entertainers, comedians, podcasters, and content creators. In addition to editing content, you may be asked to create marketing assets that support ticket sales, audience growth, and content distribution. Examples include: • YouTube thumbnails optimized for click-through rate (CTR) • Cover images for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok videos • Tour artwork and show graphics • Social media flyers for Instagram Feed, Stories, Facebook, and other platforms • Podcast artwork and episode graphics • Promotional graphics for ticket on-sales, announcements, and special events • Email marketing graphics • Website banners and hero images • Sponsorship and partnership creative • Ad creatives for Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Google campaigns The ideal candidate understands that design is not simply about making something look good. Design should support marketing objectives and drive measurable actions such as: • Video views • Engagement • Clicks • Ticket sales • Email signups • Audience growth • Revenue SOFTWARE & TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS You should be proficient in: • Adobe Premiere Pro • Adobe Photoshop • Adobe After Effects (preferred) • Adobe Illustrator (preferred) Bonus experience with: • Canva • Figma • Frame.io • Descript • Riverside • Opus • AI-powered editing tools ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS NON-NEGOTIABLE Subtitling errors are unacceptable. Misspelled words, incorrect captions, poor timing, bad audio edits, broken joke structure, poor exports, missed deadlines, incorrect aspect ratios, or careless mistakes will not be tolerated. You should be obsessive about quality. THE IDEAL CANDIDATE IS • Fast • Organized • Detail-oriented • Self-managed • Reliable • Coachable • Creative • Strategic • Comfortable working under pressure • Passionate about social media • Passionate about comedy • Passionate about creating content that performs BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH • Stand-up comedy • Podcast production • Entertainment marketing • Live event promotion • Ticketed events • Creator economy brands • Viral content creation • Direct response marketing • Advertising creative • Thumbnail psychology • Click-through rate optimization • Audience retention strategies OUR PHILOSOPHY This is not a traditional editing position. This is a content marketing role disguised as a video editing role. Every clip, graphic, thumbnail, and piece of content should be created with a purpose. The goal is not simply to publish content. The goal is to grow audiences, increase engagement, generate ticket sales, build fan communities, and create measurable business results for our clients. WHEN APPLYING, PLEASE INCLUDE 1. Links to your best short-form editing work. 2. Examples of stand-up comedy, podcast, interview, or viral social clips you have edited. 3. Examples of graphic design work, thumbnails, flyers, or social creative you have created. 4. What you believe makes a short-form video perform well. 5. The creator, comedian, podcast, or brand whose content you think is edited exceptionally well and why. 6. Your favorite comedian. 7. Which social platform you understand best and why. Applications that do not answer these questions will not be considered. Before/after your interview, you may be asked to complete a short 10-15 minute test project.
