Who is the publishing gal on the tube?

The one sipping iced coffee and reading modernist literature...

Or the one carrying a massive box of books, POS and decorations whilst getting frustrated at the lack of data as they can't get on top of their slack/email inbox 🙃

[Michaela O'Callaghan @Michaela_OC]

We have been working on something...@SYP_UK @publishing_post
🥰🎉

Spotlighting the range of roles in the book world is very important to me, and I hope by recognising the passion of those starting out we can encourage discussions about points of connection between these roles

I went back to my local school to chat about publishing, and then after that rushed straight to the school library to reminisce...

it says a lot about how important school libraries are at offering a safe space, and how lasting an impact that can have on an individual 📚
