Getting Into Publishing & My Career So Far.

Cool

Hi! Great video, love hearing about your journey into publishing and your career thus far! I'm an international student (non-EU) looking to get a job in publishing. I already have quite a bit of work experience from uni but not sure if the whole visa thing will be a huge deterrent to getting an entry level job - do you happen to know anyone who got a first job in publishing while needing a visa? It would be nice to know what the stats are for that!

so interesting! I'm looking for an internship in the same field as well for my university so this is very interesting!

I would LOVE a video or part of a video about tips to get into the industry. I want to get into the industry after university and that would be suuuuuuuper interesting! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, SANNE

I really like reading and performing arts. I was wondering if you have any advice for doing the audio for audio books

Super informative ! People never talk about publishing in my country so I never truly understood what kind of work it entails haha, always seemed like something I'd like though !

This was such a helpful video - I'm moving to London next year, after I finish university, and starting in Journalism/Photography/Media. It's incredibly encouraging hearing about someone else's experience, because it's such a scary transition; and quite an unsteady period of time in our lives.
Thank you!

Your English is excellent! I noticed you mentioned you're from Scandinavia, if English isn't your first language, you've done an excellent job acquiring it. if not, then I guess, still. very nice English :)

Thank you for sharing your story

Your career progress is so inspirational... Congratulations!

Thank you for sharing! I realized my sophomore year of college that I wanted to work in publishing lol I literally forget it was an industry even though I’ve always been a bookworm 🤷🏾‍♀️.

It’s validating to know I’m not the only person having a hard time finding a job in publishing right after school

What are your suggestion(s) and or advice for someone wanting to transition from a different industry (fashion) into book publishing?

🤔... Hmm

Hey, I am watching your videos for 2-3 years now and I just wanted to say that I love watching you speak about books, I'm always curious what are you reading at the moment etc. But this video is super interesting for me, because I work in publishing too - in Bulgaria - and I am translator of books in English. It would be so nice if we could meet and chat, so sorry that we live so far away :)

That was an incredibly frank and informative video. May I ask you this... there’s a set ( 108 three times over), ie an amazing collection of 324 poems. If I send just 3 sample poems to the Penguins, is it enough to consider the publishing. Does Penguin appreciate poetry publishing and have a separate division?

Thanks so much for this video!! I just graduated with my Master’s degree in advertising and public relations and have been trying to figure out how to use it in a way that I’m passionate about. I’ve always loved books and I’m a pretty good writer, so recently I’ve turned my attention to publishing. I can’t help but notice however, that your initial internship experience seemed to come about from knowing people and I don’t know that many :( any advice? Nevertheless, hearing about your journey was very inspiring

Do you think having tattoos will be something that could affect your shot of getting into publishing? I have several tattoos on my arms and legs, they can be covered HOWEVER, the one on my left arm does go slightly above my wrist bone meaning that with some long sleeved shirts you can see a small amount of it. Would that affect it? Or would it not matter? I am thinking of doing law as well and honeslty, I'm just worried that my tattoos will be a limiting factor.

She sounds British at some point

Your accent is like an American and British accent at once. I find that very neat 👌🏽👌🏽

Yea, I agree editing and formatting can get out of hand. {quick|fast}

Hello! Where did you find this publishing jobs offers? Maybe it is a stupid question... but I am a little bit lost and I would love to get a job related to books, I´m in London since 2017, but I´m working for different hotels right now, I wanted to improve my English first so I joined an English school and now I´m studying a postgraduate in Cultural studies, I think having university studies in English could help me and well I´m enjoying my postgraduate so far :) Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much for creating this video. I've been thinking of going into publishing for a while and this video is really helpful. X

Love the video

I’ve recently just finished my very first book on Wattpad

She has a American accent mixed with British who agrees ?

Thank you so so much for doing this. I am 16 years old and I have this dream of starting my own publishing company but I was about to give up because I didn't find it as realistic but you just inspired me, so, thank you so much and please keep doing this.

What kind of Major would you recommend getting if I’m looking into having a similar career after college?

So do you have the citizenship from England?
Otherwise how is it possible to work freelance in London if you are from Netherlands?
Do you do any other jobs?

I’ve been applying to Penguin Random House forever. I just can’t get in. I want to cry.

I enjoyed what I could get of this video and would love to see it all, but twice it has frozen up when I try to play it. Not sure what is happening.

That's awesome.

I loved listening and hearing how you started on your publishing career. I'm thankful for it as well because I just recently graduated from university with my undergrad, but my degree is not in English (it happens to be in History) and I've been looking for some information on how to get started in a publishing career. Thank you for sharing how you got started and if you have any tips for how I could get started on my own publishing career journey it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ! I love your channel, thank you for this video. I'm sorry to bother you but I had a question. I hope you'll be able to answer it. I actually work for a publisher in France and I was thinking about starting a booktube channel but I do not know how to do it right. Because obviously I would talk about books that my company didn't publish and others that they did (some I loved, some I didn't) and I don't want it to be a problem for my career... How do you manage it ?

I would love to work in publishing

Thanks, u inspired me, this video help me to do my assignment.

Wow love this! It took me 9 months to write my first book it's now out on Amazon its called (Nova The Quest Of Dreams) feel free to check it out I am looking for feedback pretty much..lol oh and you can find me on IG at author.of.nova_5020 or self_boss_chick 👽💚

I was scared of waiting on jobs after I got my degree. Jobs are rare, especially the good ones Took the entrepreneur route instead.

I want to be a publisher but I’m afraid no one reads anymore

woww, hello! Im a spanish girl studying/finishing my English degree as well and I am looking forward to working in some publishing house, in fact, I write my own poems and stories. Do you think that would be fantastic studyng a master on Script and creative writing?. Do you think working in that will lead to cinema writing in the future?

Thank you! I was desperately in need of some direction and your video was helpful.

If someone belongs to canada what would be your suggestions regarding what qualifications should be acquired by freshers to get into publishing industry ???

hey, I have a quick question for you. can I submit my book to traditional publishing companies like Penguin, harper after I unpublish it from amazon kdp? and is it okay to do this? I mean the book was on both paperback and ebook in kdp for almost about a year now...

How can I find book/publishing events?

Hey! Great video! I have one question. I applied for a design assistant position in a publishing house a week ago and I was wondering how long did it took to be invited for an interview after applying for a job?

Are you still working in Publishing?

I'm an author illustrator and clicked on this on a whim as I have watched your graphic novel haul videos, this video was really unexpectedly interesting! I'm very glad for you and to hear your journey into publishing :) I cheered when you talked about your first role in Hot Key! It was also encouraging as I'm querying at the moment and I feel the same way finding my new "dream agent"

Hello there. Nice to meet you. New sub!
