Oh wow! A real range of opportunities for grads then! 😀 #publishingjobs #AskAtwood https://t.co/lGdRBVxinj

[UWEnglishSociety @UwEngsoc]

@AtwoodTate Thanks for the great advice! 🙂
Yes a lot of students tend to focus on the big publishers - Penguin, Harper Collins etc... and can sometimes get disappointed as there often isn't enough experience or graduate opportunities to meet demand.

Hi @AtwoodTate we have 3 questions often asked by our students about careers in publishing
1. what can students/ recent grads do to gain some experience in the publishing industry and is it difficult to get that work experience in the first place? Continued ... #AskAtwood

[UWEnglishSociety @UwEngsoc]

2. What type of roles are available in publishing is it all editing or could I get involved in marketing books and authors too?
3. What's the pay like in publishing and are there good opportunities for job progression? #AskAtwood

Brilliant blog post by our MA student @Emmawithabook on the point of studying a 'pointless' degree like English Lit. Can't recommend enough!
