Publishing MA: Masterclasses
Insights from industry experts
"The masterclasses are an excellent way to learn about different job roles in the publishing industry. The speakers work in all areas of publishing so it's very insightful to hear different perspectives on the business. It also gives you the opportunity to ask questions and get first-hand answers from professionals. It can be a great way to network too – I ended up securing a work placement at Weidenfeld & Nicolson by talking to publishing director, Alan Samson, before he gave a masterclass."
Amy Cartwright, Business Development Executive at Charity Retail Association and Publishing MA graduate
