Reviews for How to Get a Job in Publishing
Practical and informative
Having worked in publishing for thirty years and lectured to careers services about what it is like as an occupation for much of that time, I bought this book to see how how another's approach matched my take on the industry. I knew of Alison Baverstock's involvement in training and advice through her long-time work at the Publishing Training Centre and Kingston University. Her (and her fellow writers') love of the industry comes shining through, but the views are not through rose-tinted spectacles. It is honest and direct, and captures both the frustrations and rewards of the work. It gives realistic and practical advice with checklists and anecdotes, and is thus an ideal companion to Giles Clark's Inside Book Publishing which is more analytical and textbook-like. Anyone seriously considering applying to work in book publishing should read both books - and How To ... has the added benefit of covering magazine publishing too. by Nicholas W N Jones
