The one date that every UK school child has drummed into their brain...the year William the Conqueror beat Harold Godwinson at the battle of Hastings...956 years ago to this day - the 14th October 1066.

Roald Dahl reckons that's a pretty useless fact, but if you are interested in how French Wills got his namesake take a look at our Anglo-Norman England Guide. It covers everything from the Anglo-Saxons and the Norman Conquest, to the reigns of King Stephen and Henry II, plus a bit of Thomas Becket - yipee!

Amazing graduate opportunity……

Connell Guides is looking for a clever, creative editor who will also take charge of the marketing.

Connell Guides is a well-established brand, and now has more than 80 titles. Added to this is our All you need to know series, with 12 titles, covering everything from World War Two to the Prophet Muhammed. Top academics, actors and authors, from William Boyd to Helena Bonham Carter, have endorsed our guides. Many have done videos for us, some of which are on YouTube.

The Guides cover English and History and are immensely popular in schools and among students who want to achieve good grades in their GSE and A levels.

The business as started 10 years ago by Jon Connell, the founder of The Week and MoneyWeek, and has its main office near Chippenham in Wilts. But we are happy to consider candidates from further afield.

This is potentially a very exciting role for an enthusiastic, energetic graduate keen to make their mark and turn a flourishing small business into a larger one. You need to combine a love of English and history with an understanding of the kind of help students need to shine in their subjects. You need to be computer savvy, able to shape and put up material on our website. And you need to be adept at using social media.

Connell Guides is at an interesting point and needs to pivot more away from book publishing and more towards online content. We need someone who has the vision and energy to accomplish that. We already have a small team which can help, and Jon Connell himself will be on hand to advise and assist with the writing, doing blog posts etc.

This is a business in a very interesting area which has the capacity to become much bigger. Working hours, pay and conditions all open for discussion. Please contact us via email.
