Apply to be a London Spinebreakers Editor 



If you live in London and have a passion for books, reading, writing, drawing, filming, reviewing and you like this site, you can apply to become a Spinebreakers teen editor.

We need young people living in London to join our fantastic group of site editors.

What’s in it for you?
You decide which books, content and authors get featured on Spinebreakers. Every month we meet at the Penguin offices on The Strand and have the upcoming titles ‘pitched’ to us so we can decide which titles to feature (or not!) on the website.

On top of this you will get free books, so you need to love reading books, be committed to creating new and exciting content for the website and be able to attend our meetings once a month in London.

You’ll get the opportunity to go to events, interview authors and read advance proofs of some great new books to review for the site.
If this sounds like something you can do, Spinebreakers wants you to join the team.

Who can apply?

Anyone between the ages of 13 - 18.
To be a London editor, you must live in London or the surrounding area and be able to attend an editorial meeting at Penguin once a month.

How do I apply?

In order to apply, we want you to show us what you can do.

1) Send us your favourite piece of writing you’ve done – it could be a short story, book review, poem or feature about one of the books on this website.

2) Tell us in 100 words or less why you would like to be a Spinebreaker.

Send your entry by email to jointheteam@spinebreakers.co.uk

Please include your:

- Name
- Date of birth
- Email address
- Postal address 

and include LONDON EDITOR as the subject of your email.

Selection will be taking place on 29th October 2010 so please send in your application before 27th October 2010.

GOOD LUCK!
