Name: Steve McCarthy
Course: Publishing MA
"Kingston's Publishing MA was the perfect introduction – not only to the important marketing and editorial skills needed if you're to succeed in the industry, but also to key individuals and companies. Being able to network effectively is an invaluable skill within publishing, and Kingston's MA gives you the confidence required to do this."
Name: Natalie Meylan
Course: Publishing MA
Employer: Blackwell Publishing
"After completing the Publishing MA, I began working at John Wiley and Sons. I worked in translation rights after completing some work experience (which I secured through the lecturers on the MA). After six months, I decided to move from a sales-based job to a more creative role in editorial.
"I am currently working at Blackwell Publishing in Oxford as an editorial assistant working on nursing titles. This course prepared me for working in the industry and gave me the publishing knowledge and experience that I now have."
