Closing date for applications: 29 September 2025Salary: London Living Wage Are you obsessed with movies? Does history never cease to amaze you? Are you always dreaming of travelling? Do you love creating content?If any, or all, of these things sound like you, and you would love to spend two weeks (3rd - 14th November 2025) with us, then The DK Experience, our remote programme, might be the perfect match for you!&nbsp;We’re DK (Dorling Kindersley), the biggest publisher of illustrated non-fiction in the world. We make books covering everything: travel, gardening, cookery, history, children's stories… you name it, we’ve probably got a book on it! We’re looking for creative and passionate candidates to join us on the DK Experience, a paid two week work placement within one of our departments. As much as we’d like to, high demand means we’re unable to offer everyone a place and we’ll be in contact to let you know if you have been randomly selected this time. We will not contact the unsuccessful candidates however if we don’t have a place for you on this occasion, please do keep trying. What will you be doing?This exciting opportunity will be completely remote. All you need is a computer, wifi connection, the right to work in the UK and to be able to commit to two weeks’ full-time work. We’ll be taking you behind the scenes of our publishing house and introducing you to all the different areas of the industry. While you will be placed in a creative department, you’ll also have the opportunity to learn about all the other areas of our company. You’ll attend meetings, try your hand at a variety of editing or designing tasks and get involved in a fun group project with other people on the placement. And along with this engaging creative experience, you’ll be paid the London Living Wage, regardless of where you’re based. Where are you from?The programme requires no degree or previous publishing experience and aims to open the doors of our industry to participants from underrepresented regions, communities and backgrounds.Publishing is traditionally very London-centric and people from London or the Home Counties (Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Sussex) or who are based in these regions, have traditionally been advantaged in gaining access to the industry.This programme is instead for anyone originally from, or currently living, in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and parts of England outside London and the Home Counties. Please do not apply if you are currently living in, or originally from, London or the Home Counties (If you are from London, we do work closely with LDN and they may have programmes which might be more suitable for you.
