Talk to diverse and interesting people every day. Deliver truly consultative advice and information to help authors make sense of a complex industry and decide what to do with their books (aka their "baby").

The Book Publishing Consultant plays a vital role as the first point of contact with the company, helping authors understand the publishing industry, the publishing process, how self-publishing differs from the conventional model, how distribution and royalties work, and how to plan and budget to self-publish.

About Tellwell
 
Tellwell works with authors in Australia, Canada, the USA, and beyond. We have been operating in Canada since 2015. Tellwell was named "10 to Watch" by Douglas Magazine in 2015 and was a finalist for Startup of the Year, and identified as one of Canada's 50 fastest growing start-ups. In 2018 Tellwell launched International Office in Cebu City to expand our operations internationally and to improve the quality of our services by tackling some of the most difficult challenges in publishing including timely workflows, minimizing backlogs, and reducing errors through quality control processes. We recruited a team with many decades of combined publishing experience. As our team extends from Cebu to Canada to Australia and beyond, we place a high value on international teamwork.
 
Our company values include passion, talent, teamwork, honesty and entrepreneurial spirit. We've built a very strong and compassionate team in Cebu and we are excited to have additional openings.
