As part of my research into working in the professional world I had a look on the internet to see if there was any jobs available in publishing. I have actually written two cook books that have been published. My book COOKIT written for channel 4 was published by Bloomsbury press in 1994!
It was an incredible experience I worked with a brilliant editor at Bloomsbury and went through the complete creative process. seeing my book published blew me away !!As an artist I would off course love to produce my own photographic book, at the moment it would be about photo therapy and how the creative process helps me deal with mental health. The industry of publishing is huge and you can either be the book creater, writer/artist or you can work behind the scenes. there are many jobs, photography, graphic, editor, proof reading its a great industry.
jobs I found
submissions publisher at the Tate sounds like an interesting opportunity but I think actually turns out to be quite a technical job and I don’t really know any of that is the role within the team to create regulatory agency submission packages using build and publishing tools. I don’t think this is an entry-level job but equally it’s not that skilled as the pay is 1260 to 838 per hour so not sure Plus the great thing about working for a company like the Tate is it I would imagine it would be a company where you could grow you could look around coming on a low-level summit up to be so many different opportunities within this huge organisation and often companies like Tate modern or Tate Britain are keen to help support people and often provide ladders entered to future goals
Editorial assistant at Dock Street creative productions
Actually looks like quite an interesting job a creative thinker with a strong life for detail and a high passion for quality magazines your assist in the day-to-day running of the magazine as well as creating online communities to drive traffic through the magazines websites auto report directly to the editor which is always nice and be liaising with parents will have lots of energy positive attitude and understand how to manage the brown social media and create engaging contact content the job will incorporate writing new stories features picture researching subbing organising photo shoots and liaising with this job is actually in Ipswich believe it or not and it’s been advertised for one month so I don’t know if it’s still available but actually looks like quite a good job from somebody out of uni.
So what is Dock Street creative productions well in a way it just seems a bit like a corporate advertising PR company really and I’ve looked at his website and it says that you know it will produce magazines for you up to the highest standard it will do a whole new branding and identity work out for you branding is something I’ve had the pleasure of working in before and copywriting and editing again so I guess that was for people who might have technical journals or again manuals or instructions

So yeah this is really more about corporate identity and is I guess a corporate side of publishing not really a high-end publishing house such as Bloomsbury it should be more literature or Mac which course produces the great photography books.
Cambridge university press Publishing Apprerticeships
They offer a range of apprenticeships in Communications, Customer Services, HR, Marketing, Project Management, Sales and more. In joining, you will broaden your skills whilst gaining first-hand experience of the publishing industry. You’ll be working alongside colleagues and a recognised training provider, and will get the time and support you need to unlock your full potential. You will earn while you learn, and be part of a wider cohort of apprentices, benefiting from training opportunities together.
Don’t see any jobs being advertised at MacBooks are high-end publishing house like this would have a very large creative team courses have the editors sold and the commissioning editors who would choose the people to make the books then of course you would have the writers and photographers that took authors of the book. But then you would have a huge gang of people who would help with the production these will be graphic designers page layout designers copywriters stock offers not specific to the actual photography but photographers who might do lifestyle shots there would be an army of set designers for other kinds of publications obviously there would be an editor who the author would that work with closely they would be copywriters like I said I would check for spelling mistake I think publishing is probably pretty much like other creative industries like TV for example were really a lot of the entry-level work for most graduates is still to become a runner and general office body you would probably do that for a year also give you a chance to work out what area you might be interested in be at production management or creative all the creative side of things and then you would start a specialise.
For the creative photographer I actually think you wouldn’t want to work in publishing. publishing is more of an administrative overseeing roll. Obviously the commissioning editors and the editors will be highly creative highly skilled individuals who will choose who will be making the book so they are going to publish but the actual work within the publishing industry is going to be very much about typography designer layouts copywriting and of course the actual printing and manufacturing of books as well as of course a very big legal side which would be all about copyright. And of course a huge part of publishing is going to be marketing and advertising and social media.
