UConn · Publishing
a gathering place for alumni of Leigh Grossman's publishing and writing classes

Sometimes I know who's looking for publishing jobs when I hear about them, but sometimes I don't, especially if you've been out of the class for a couple of years. Or are you working in publishing but looking to move up to another position? Keep me posted (email me offlist) if you're looking for things (and a copy of your resume wouldn't hurt). |

I've heard from several former students working in the publishing industry in the last few weeks (and a couple of others just landed publishing jobs). So where are you working these days? |

From a writer friend on the West Coast: "Wanted to post... about this blog started by Scott William Carter, a writer I know through the Oregon Coast Professional Writers Network. It's called "The First Book." Once a week, Scott posts an interview with a first-time novelist whose book is just being published. He's covering writers and books from across all genres. Seems like nice exposure: http://thefirstbook.wordpress.com/ |

There hasn't been a posting on here since...well a really long time. So I thought I would update. I just got my first "real" job in book publishing as an editorial assistant at Modern Publishing--they do children's books and coloring books--things like that. Not my dream publishing job, but at least I have my foot in the door. |

How not to get a publishing job.... |
|
| |
|
I recently got a request about a fairly specialized publishing job in NYC, and realized I didn't have a deep list of qualified folks to recommend. If you're a former publishing student who's still interested in working in the field (I promise I won't tell your current employer) drop me an email so I know to keep you in mind if I hear about something that's a good fit. |

Ruth Fairbanks is looking for former interns who are now working in publishing to participate in a panel at UConn geared to prospective interns. Drop me an email if you're interested. |

I just got a call about an entry-level production job, looking for a publishing course grad or former intern to fill it. It's a great place to work though, like all publishing jobs, the pay's not great. Call or email me ASAP if you're interested - I'll be going away for a week after tomorrow. |
