Just wanted to put this out there - I work in marketing at HarperCollins and I'm always happy to chat about publishing with anyone looking to get their foot in the door! Loved this video Sanne.
Claire Fenby I would love to talk with you!! That sounds like my dream job! I study advertising and English literature at university and any advice would be incredible.
Hello! I have a publishing internship interview at a small publishing company this week (Thursday, actually) and I would love to hear any advice you have to offer!
I'm also very interested in hearing any tips you have! I'm in the process of applying as an international student for a Publishing Masters in London but I'm more worried about finding a job in the industry after the program. Production seems to be popular, yet it's hard to find good information about what skills are good to have mastered before applying that can set an applicant apart.
Thank you for the video, Sanne! I found your video while Googling ways to find a publishing job. I've been a freelance nonfiction line editor and copyeditor for over five years. (I'm an occasional proofreader.) I'm a lifelong language enthusiast. Finding a full-time position (especially a remote position) in trade publishing has been quite challenging. I'm concerned about not having a relevant degree (my degree is in an unrelated field) since publishers often require it. I'd love to find a way to bypass that requirement.
I'm glad you made this video! I'm sure people will find this helpful. When I started in publishing in Indonesia 3 years I ago, I literally had no idea of what I should be doing, but I made it. I'd love to try out publishing industry in other country.
9 months? Wow, you were sooo lucky! I have been trying for 4 years now, I have done copywriting course, work placement as editorial assistant, I have my own blog. Still nothing. I started going to events, I follow people on LinkedIn. Aaannddd guess what? Yep, that's correct - still nada. Ran out of ideas.
Is it possible to take a side step into publishing? I currently work in education and wonder if it's possible to start in publishing without starting at an entry level job.
I have a bachelor's in finance degree and am currently in insurance. Looking to break into the publishing industry. I know it'll be a big jump but hopefully I get closer to finding a job I enjoy more 😊 thank you for the great information and ideas to implement
Thank you Madam for an energetic explanation on publishing procedures and how to enter the publication world. Of course, there are a lot of procedures to know about the issues of the publication. Above all, 10 Tips for those who are likely to enter publication marketing and how to succeed in it. Really indeed to benefit the publishing community in the world.
I know that this is completely off-topic but I'm travelling to London in a few days. My friends and I are going book shopping and I was wondering if you had a bookshop suggestion. I saw your book crawl video and your London bookshop faves video, but you didn't specify if you preferred one of the shops over the others or if one had a lot of YA and fantasy/sci-fi (which is what we’re mainly looking for). Also, I love you videos and the current frequency of them! Thank you for producing such good content :)
What kind of qualities do you need to work in publishing, because I don’t really want to work in an office job but I would really love to work with books?
Totally depends on what area you’re interested in, as publishing has so many different jobs (sales, marketing, design, HR etc etc), just like in any industry! There’s definitely freelance publishing jobs too.
I've been running my own small publishing house for 6 years now. I'm looking to work for a bigger publishing house and hopefully get mine off the ground at the same time. I wonder if my experience will help me get into publishing. I do everything from writing and editing to marketing and designs. I've been distracted from it for the last year or so due to teaching...which I don't enjoy so much.
Hi! My biggest tip for getting a job in a bookstore is to make sure you show a passion for communication and customer service. It's not enough to say "I love books" or "I love to read I read so much" because everyone does, and that's only one small aspect of working in a bookstore. Anyone can talk about a book they love. But can you talk about a book you have never read? If someone needs help picking a book in a genre you hate, can you help them? One of the most important skills you can have working in a bookstore is a passion for helping people find what they are looking for! You need to be able to talk to anyone, and to be able to listen to what they need, ask questions, and help them, even if it's outside of your comfort zone. If you're writing up your resume or doing an interview be sure to emphasize these skills, as well as a general passion for books. They have to go hand in hand! Hopefully this helps, good luck! :)
I would recommend applying right before holiday season. Working at a big chain like Barnes and Noble first (& applying in October and November) is your best bet!
hey i have an urgent question because i’m deciding whether or not i should defer fall classes...... i’m looking for advice from anyone in the industry on this: is it looked down upon to take 2 internships at once/ not a good look? i would be transparent with both companies but i’m worried to even ask
If they are full time internships then you should only take one, but if they’re only a few hours a week and you have plenty of time to balance both, it could be worth doing. Maybe accept the one you like most and then have an open conversation about whether they would allow you to take on a second one, as you would like to get as much experience as possible. They might say yes or no.

Hello! I’m a bit late to this video but I would love to chat if you were still available!
Great video! Thanks for the tips. Please could you could do a video about the different departments and what each involves?
Lauren Burns Leena Norms has a really good video on that!

Thanks for the video. I will try to use them in Brazilian Publishing Industry. Wish me luck!

What have you been doing for work in the meantime - just asking cause I'll be on the Job Hunt once I leave uni very soon and I'm so worried!
@@tinomak1332 Anything, I need to pay my bills! Good luck to you, maybe with uni on your CV things will get easier for you. All the best :)
I'm still in high school but this is sooo helpful I love daydreaming about my future job 💗💗💗

Is it possible to take a side step into publishing? I currently work in education and wonder if it's possible to start in publishing without starting at an entry level job.
im in the same boat, were you able to figure out a way?

Hi, very informative. Thank you and have a nice day
Do you have any tips for getting a job at a bookstore? I've been trying for some months with no luck. :(
+Outspoken Artistry I have no experience with that I’m afraid, but hopefully someone else will have some advice in the comments!
