Are you keen to break into the publishing industry but not sure where to start? Whether you’re a recent graduate, career changer or simply curious about what roles exist beyond 'editor', this webinar is aimed at you.
Join me, Eleanor Pilcher - an award-winning freelance marketing consultant, founder of Market Your Marketing on Substack, co-host of Why You're Reading, content creator and author, with over 10 years of experience in marketing and publicity - in a series of practical and honest webinars and Q&As about how the UK publishing world works and how to get into it.
This webinar will cover:
- The main departments within a publishing house — and what they actually do
- The reality of entry-level roles and what experience actually helps
- Common myths and mistakes that trip up applicants
The second half of the session will be a live Q&A — bring your questions, career worries, or anything else you want to ask.
Who this webinar is for: This session is designed for anyone looking to enter the UK publishing industry, though international attendees interested in publishing more generally are welcome. No prior experience needed.
Where to watch: The webinar is hosted via Google Meet with a maximum of 100 attendees. Camera/Mics will be off, but the Chat function will be available to ask questions, or you can send questions in advance the week prior to the event.
