Jobs in Publishing

[Beckiboo]

Does anyone know what people who work in Publishing actually do?

I've been thinking about my career path recently, not 100% sure if Accounting is the profession for me. I love writing, reading, anything English-y really. Someone said to me I'd like working in Publishing... but I dont really know what it is Is it just publishing books etc

What other writing/reading/creative orientated jobs can I look at

What about Marketing? Lots of marketing roles out there in all sorts of industries. I work in the hotel & leisure industry and my role is really varied - covers a lot of the things you mentioned that you are interested in.

Good luck!

I have a friend who works in Publishing - I know she proof reads manuscripts for writers when they come in and amends drafts....

She also has a "photographic memory/ total recall" or whatever the correct terminology for someone who can memorise a full 2 pages of draft and repeat verbatim including the punctuation - she scares me.......

Her party trick when there is an after club group people is to repeat word for word, a full conversation between said group of people that she has been eavesdropping on ....... it really freaks people out....

I'm convinced I have a similar ability.

If only I worked on it a little, and didn' ritually destroy my braincells, I'd be amazing at it. I'm sure the ability manifests itself in different ways though.

I have complete recall of information I have heard or read even once, but only if it is completely and utterly trivial. Hence many Bucks Fizz lyrics are ingrained so deep within my brain that I will never be free of them.

How good is she on Simpson quotes?

I really dont know...

I love reading and writing, I'm quite loud, creative, like talking to people, like things that challenge my mind, really make me think etc.

But then again I like working with logic, I like things to make sense, I dont really get these "arty farty" types who daydream all day. I like to have a goal and achieve it at the end of the day.

I work in Accounts at the moment, and I know I'm good at it, but I just dont know if number crunching is for me... studying accounts has made me realise that I'm not sure whether I do want it as a career, it just doesnt interest me!

Still relying on blind dates X?

She could probably recite most episodes from every series verbatim - she is so totally freaky ........ You could never get one over on her and deny something - she just waits a few secs then repeats the full conversation that you had with her......

If she 'does' song lyrics I off to get a new hat! (Pups - I'm assuming you're quite willing to butt in to any relationship your mate may or may not be having to marry her off to RainDan?)

Well, we all have attachments, and as much as I don't like to act the homewrecker, not many people understand the struggle it is for me to find a woman my mental equivalent.

And, as the t-shirt and song say, I love New York. It was always my dream/ambition to be working there when I get to my 30's.

Have you got pictures?
