Description:

Careers in publishing have always attracted people with a love of literature and language, a respect for the written word, and an inquiring mind. From editors and publicists to business managers and designers, and from legendary book publishing houses to glossy fashion magazines and cutting-edge websites, the publishing industry offers diverse opportunities for all. Join representatives of the Columbia Publishing Course (formerly the Radcliffe Publishing Course) to learn about the multitude of career options in book, magazine, and digital media publishing. Hear about what you can do NOW to prepare for the publishing job market. Attendees will also learn more about the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism's Columbia Publishing Course, an intensive introduction to all aspects of book, magazine, and digital media publishing, from evaluations of manuscripts to the sales and marketing of finished products. At CPC students learn directly from leaders in the industry--writers, editors, publishers, design directors, illustrators, advertising experts, and publicists. Geared to recent college graduates and culminating in a job fair, the course also includes extensive preparation for the job market. Recent graduates have landed at Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster, Scholastic, GQ.com, New York magazine, Vice, Buzzfeed, and Slate.com.
