PUBLISHING Evie Ioannidi Communications & Events Assistant, The Publishers Licensing Society WHAT: The Publishers Licensing Society is a not-for-profit organisation which distributes revenue from photocopying and scanning of works to publishers across the UK. It’s owned by the publishing industry’s trade associations, and I take an active role in marketing the society, and the organisation of seminars on the topics of collective licensing and permissions. I also help the Publisher Relations team, speaking to publishers about the work that we do. ADVICE: Obviously a degree from one of the most prestigious universities in the world isn’t going to count for nothing, but never forget that your time at Oxford is so much more than your studies. Every extracurricular activity I took on has helped me. From editing a failed literary journal to rowing, they’ve all popped up in interviews and they’ve all been received with more interest than my opinion on Troilus and Criseyde. PUBLISHING Regent’s Park College, BA English Language and Literature, 2015 WHY: I knew I wanted to work in publishing, but I also knew that it’s a hard industry to get into. After applying for a number of different publishing jobs, I was offered an interview at PLS. I was hesitant, but I knew I had to take it after meeting the team – and it’s definitely paid off! It’s a wonderful company to work for. My colleagues are great, and I am learning so much about communications as well as the publishing industry. There’s nothing more satisfying than knowing a small publisher is receiving remuneration which will genuinely make a difference. TOP TIPS: Refine which aspect of publishing you want to go into – this will help you write focused cover letters. Show an interest in it – read industry news like The Bookseller, become an editor for a student publication or do the marketing for a play. Don’t give up even if you’re rejected by your dream job. Just keep applying for every vacancy – you never know what will work out. Clarissa Pabi Senior Digital Marketing Executive, Penguin Random House St Anne’s College, BA English Language and Literature, 2012 WHAT: I work on getting people excited about books, using digital and online platforms (eg, video, social media, websites, online advertising) and I work with social media influencers, and traditional marketing (eg, advertising, live events, brand partnerships). I’m the in-house Brand Manager for the BBC’s Doctor Who books, and work on marketing campaigns for brand authors as diverse as George the Poet, YouTubers Dan & Phil, Sheryl Sandberg and Deepak Chopra. WHY: I loved how varied my Oxford degree was, and now I love how varied my work and the people and authors I work with are. Also, creativity and thinking imaginatively is central to marketing, and in digital there is so much scope for that. GETTING STARTED: After graduating, I secured a year-long internship at Penguin Random House via Creative Access (see p.36), working for Ebury Publishing. Halfway through this I was offered a newly created role in Consumer Outreach and Marketing, before being promoted to my current role. ADVICE: Publishing can be right for anyone, and don’t ever think otherwise. If you enjoy stories and storytelling, or being in a creative business, then it’s for you. TOP SKILLS: A growth mindset is a very important skill, having belief in your ability to learn and that your potential is never fixed will set you apart from other people. For example, I think that applying insights from other industries to your own job allows you to develop your expertise, take the lead and offer something even more unique and valuable to your company. Go to events, read books and articles, listen to podcasts, watch YouTube: share this with your peers and maintain the same intellectual tenacity and curiosity that Oxford inspires in and demands of you. TOP TIPS: The best thing you can ever do is work experience – this will give you an overview of the industry, the publishing process and where you, your skills and interests fit in. And once you’re in the door, give back, hold the door open and help other people step through. 155
