Welcome to our Career Site!

Candlewick Press is one of the fastest-growing children’s book publishers in the United States. Established in 1991, we are a progressive and creative company, with a steadfast commitment to the best, which is due in part to our rare independence--being 100 percent employee-owned gives us the freedom to publish only the books we believe in.

Our reputation for excellence in creating beautiful, high-quality children’s books is accomplished through a staff of dedicated, focused, and energetic individuals who enjoy an innovative, team-oriented work environment and a very generous compensation and benefits package. Conveniently located in Somerville, Massachusetts, we are easily accessible by public transportation.

Local candidates who are interested in working in a progressive, creative, and thriving environment should submit a resume and cover letter via e-mail to careers@candlewick.com, referencing the specific job title that is posted in our Career Opportunities.

Because of the volume of submissions, we regret that we cannot respond to every resume upon receipt. We do, however, hold onto resumes for a period of one year for review as positions become available. Should a future opportunity complement your qualifications, we will contact you directly. Thank you for your interest in Candlewick Press.
