How to Get into Publishing: London Book Fair 2020 Seminar

If you’re just starting out, publishing can be a very competitive and opaque industry, with many barriers standing in the way of landing your first role. This panel is designed to empower, inform and inspire the next generation of publishers – that’s you!

Aimed at those working towards landing first job in the industry, our panel of speakers will outline the myriad routes into publishing, dispel myths, demystify the recruitment process, and discuss the different roles they could consider. We will also look at “common routes” into the industry, such as university degrees, internships, work experience, paid and voluntary work, to see which may be right for you, and offer advice on starting roles and what kind of publishing career these can lead to.

Whether this is your first career move, or you’re looking to make an industry switch, this event will provide you with quick tips and an understanding of how the application process works, highlighting which route into publishing might be right for you.

As with our How to Get Ahead in Publishing seminar, this event is free and open to all London Book Fair attendees (however, please note that spaces will be on a first come, first served basis). Head over to the Olympia Room and get ready to hear from our brilliant speakers. If you can’t make it, be sure to follow our hashtag for the day #SYPinto20 to keep up with all the updates.
