Thanks!What kind of job can you get at a publishing company?
There are all sorts of jobs available, depending on what sort of publishing company it is. For educational or non-fiction publishers, there are fact-checkers for example. Children's book publishers may have in-house artists. There are also people who may be photo researchers, art buyers, or even in-house artists (depending on the types of books again). Some places have cover artists on staff, or you can work for a publishing company as a free lance artist or editor. On top of that there are all the jobs you'd find at any sizable company - finance, human resources, legal, vendor management, contracts, administrative, sales and marketing, webmasters, etc.



And even among editors there may be many types or levels. You may be an associate editor, a full editor with your own projects and clients, or a senior editor overseeing a staff of lower-ranking editors (especially on large collaborative projects like magazines, textbooks, reference books, etc). You may be a technical editor or a technology editor (who oversees the translation of print books to online, digital, and mobile formats). You may be a copy editor who only looks at grammar issues. Or a publisher, who oversees multiple editorial schedules, budgets, and projects.



There are many jobs available, depending on the type of work you want to do, size of the company you want to join, and specialty of publishing genre you want to be involved in.
