When you read “just because..”

Just because your mind flip-flops and lands on the quote or a piece of writing on a beautiful hardcover cover, you can think of nothing else but to Google every discernible line, find out who wrote it, why they wrote it, and read everything else they have written. Just because you need to recharge your social battery, you decide to ditch your friends for the movie and instead find new friends in between the pages of a book that promises a mind-bending climax.

When reading becomes the replacement for a hot cup of coffee in a cafe that starts to feel like home or when you wake up to run errands that only involve roaming the aisles of a bookstore where the cashier treats you like an old friend, Again, the book in your hand is the solution to an awkward small talk moment: “Wait, you are reading the Lover’s Dictionary?” and then suddenly the stranger becomes a friend and David Levithan your wingman, you must understand that it is about time to turn your reading frenzy into a job that yields your money to buy more books than you could ever read. Here are some perfect jobs for people who love to read!

1. Reviewer

If all you can think about is the book you just finished and you can’t stop talking about it and sharing how you liked the character development or the setting of the book or how it failed to meet a reader’s expectations in the first three chapters, then becoming a “book reviewer” is the job for you.

Though you may not be able to turn it into a full-time job at first, you will almost certainly get a free read. You can also use your skills to guide the authors and evaluate their drafts based on the publisher’s guidelines.

2. Lawyer

A profession that will require you to read volumes of material while paying you just the right amount for it (if you are really good at what you do, it might pay you a little extra too) is that of a lawyer. Though you might not be reading what interests you, from contracts and wills to legal documents and reviewing evidence, this job will make sure you are reading. It involves a lot of responsibilities, but it is worth a try!

3. Dramaturg

If you have had a week where all you want is a TV show in the form of a book, then this job is the deal-breaker for you. A dramaturg is an expert in the study of a theatrical performance that includes anything and everything, like the study of plays, operas, music, or a movie. It is a flexible job offering a mix of strenuous paperwork, independent research, fact-finding, and networking with the director and characters involved in the play, consequently bringing context to the work in question. It is time to get on stage, or behind it with a book as your clapperboard.

4. Archivist

For life and for living, you may want to think about following the path of an archivist if you relish old things and antiques. Working as the custodian of society’s memory, an archivist is expected to maintain records, organize material with historical significance, examine important record books, and ensure they exist with meaningful context while being accessible to people.

5. Audiobook Narrator

Combine your love for reading books and enacting them to create a line of work befitting you. An audiobook narrator requires skill and empathy to bring a book to life for the listeners. Go to your bookshelf and pick a random book to narrate with the notion in mind that narration is an acting gig. You are embodying various characters and trying to tell a story. If you are able to tell a story that people will sit and keep listening to for hours, then this job is ideal for you.

6. Event Coordinator

To dovetail an event in the world of books is a suitable trade when your recent Google search covers all the book fairs or literary events in town. Whether you go frenzy about the National Book Festival, the infamous BookCon Festival in New York State, or an artistic reading fest in town, working as an event coordinator would most possibly land you in that world. With an opportunity to meet the authors, the job role requires putting together an itinerary, managing the scheduling of authors, ideating additional events, coordinating with the visitors, or taking care of logistics to plan a successful event.

7. Bookseller/Bookstore Owner

It is a dream job for every soul that loves to be surrounded by books. Building your own space where you are stocked with your personal favorite classics and get to help other people by imparting your admiration and knowledge for books sounds like a fairytale. Along with fiction and non-fiction, you must have your basics clear in the retail and accounts departments as well to be able to pull off a successful bookstore or bookseller job.
