being in the editorial team would be an absolute dream! I will be studying English Literature with Creative Writing start September 2020 and this has offered me the motivation to study hard to be able to get my dream job (reading books for a living). Of course there are hardships that come with every job but I just know in my heart, as dramatic as this sounds, that this is where i belong.
Thank you for making this video. A lot of people aspiring to work in Publishing, like me, need this kind of information laid out in an uncomplicated format to understand. I appreciate your work. Thanks again!
As someone studying LIS and also keeping their eyes open for career opportunities with that degree outside the library world I would have loved to hear more about the metadata team! Maybe in a future video.
I wrote a kids book at a master class in short story telling , I liked it . It was entered into a London competition. I'd like to see it published it was cute
This is so interesting - the publishing houses I've worked in are organised totally differently. It's really cool to see how different it can be. Your marketing and publicity seem much closer together, in Comms, than where I've been.
That was a great video and so encouraging! This year I will be graduating from Comparative Literature. Do you have any advice for candidates like me who are trying to get into the industry at beginner levels? It’s been a dream for me to work in publishing and I want to be able to maintain this dream as soon as possible!
Glad to help! It can be a bit confusing all the different jobs - I didn't even know the differences between some of these jobs even after a few months of working in publishing! But hopefully this will encourage people to pursue a publishing career even if they don't want to follow one of the more traditional routes...
If I want a job in a publishing house how would I go about this? I don’t have any experience working in a publishing house but I have limited retail experience. I find it hard finding jobs when I don’t have much experience for the role I’m applying for. Any help please?
Is there a roll for actual proof reading? More and more I read new books with spelling errors, omitted words, wrong words, poor grammar. This should not have become acceptable! Where/how can I find a job as a proof-reader?
Hi, I have a great work experience in publication as 3b2 Composition/Pagination (Journal's). I have worked for Elsevier, Wiley and T&F. If is there any opportunity kindly let me know.
This is wonderful - and so inspiring. Should be shown in Careers Departments in schools.
Well, instead they learn about mindfulness !

Really interesting to hear from the people in the different departments! I'm sure this teaches a lot of people about publishing 🙂

Love this - it’s made me really want to work in publishing!
Yess!!! The best industry to work in :)
This is a really useful guide to all of the ways to work in publishing.
Love this! I hadn't realised that commissioning and editorial were separate!
So interesting, definitely wouldn’t have known about so many of these!
It was quite knowledgeable and an amazing glimpse and insight into publishing house departments.
This was so interesting and is the perfect addition to the series Katie is doing right now! :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yes Katie is making such interesting videos around this topic at the moment too, I've been loving them.
This was very insightful. Thanks for putting up this video.

Where can I sign?
If I want a job in a publishing house how would I go about this? I don’t have any experience working in a publishing house but I have limited retail experience. I find it hard finding jobs when I don’t have much experience for the role I’m applying for. Any help please?
Can I be a professional reader? 😂
Haha, luckily all of these jobs do involve a lot of reading!
Is there a roll for actual proof reading? More and more I read new books with spelling errors, omitted words, wrong words, poor grammar. This should not have become acceptable! Where/how can I find a job as a proof-reader?
Yes those jobs definitely exist! Though I believe it's usually a freelance job rather than working inside a publishing house.
@@BookBreak Great! Let me know if you need something proofed. I will look for the opportunities as well.
Pretty ironic that you spelled role wrong...
I'm trying to get into a publishing MA and I'm looking for experience! Any advice for getting remote work experience?
Great video but what about the Royalties department?
I have a question. If I wanted a In house copywriting job what would I look up to find job openings for that? Publishing Jobs?
Does a foreigner have the chance to work in Random?
If you are certified fluent in English and have a bachelor's degree, I don't see why not! 😊
wow.....awesome
