PUBLISHING - TUESDAY 7TH MARCH, 6.15 - 7.30pm
 
This is a great opportunity to explore how to start to build a career in Publishing.   This will be a panel discussion with recent graduates.  
The aim is that students will gain a clearer insight into some of the different ‘early career’ roles within Publishing and so be able to better identify their ideal job and target their job search accordingly.  Our panellists work in different sectors of Publishing - fiction, educational & academic.

  • Katie Hughes - graduated from QM in 2014 and is Editorial Assistant at Hodder Education – the British Educational Publisher of the Year in 2015 & 2016.
  • Caitlin Ingham - graduated from QM in 2012 and is a Publishing Assistant at Daunt Books Publishing; a young publishing house, started in 2010 by the founders of Daunt Bookshops.
  • Beatrix Daniel - graduated from the University of York in 2012 and is Assistant Publishing Manager at Palgrave Macmillan Journals.  Beatrix will also be talking about a week's paid internship in April, that Palgrave Macmillan are offering exclusively to a QM student interested in academic publishing.
