Book Synopsis A Career in Book Publishing by : Institute For Institute For Career Research
Download or read book A Career in Book Publishing written by Institute For Institute For Career Research and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MANY PEOPLE WHO WORK IN AND around the book publishing industry readily explain that they became involved in the industry because of their love of books. This is often not just a love of reading, but of the books themselves as physical objects. If you are one of those who take physical pleasure from handling books and get a kick out of how they look and feel, then aiming for a career in book publishing is a great choice. Of course, if an appreciation of printed books is part of your motivation, you should also be aware that you are entering this industry as it is making a huge shift toward digital publishing with electronic reading devices such as the Kindle and IPad. In just one recent year, sales of e-books, as they are known, rose over 100 percent, generating revenues of nearly $1 billion, and that is just at those companies that report sales to the Association of American Publishers (AAP). The AAP projects further dramatic growth as the number of digital reading device owners increases, leading to the sale of more titles. This is good news if you are a book lover and also computer savvy, adept at translating information from the printed page to a digital format. Along with the emergence of electronic book publishing is the arrival of self-publishing. Long--time industry participants were astonished when, in 2008, more books were self-published than were published in the traditional way - by a publisher paying authors for the rights to print and distribute their work. In 2009, three out of four books were self-published. The number of publishers is growing, as new companies emerge to help self-published authors get their books to market. This is almost a completely new industry in itself. In decades past, self-publishing was looked down on and authors who pursued it depended on a small number of "vanity presses" to print their books. Now there is a growing number of companies all over the country that support authors (both in their local area, or from anywhere in the nation, and worldwide) by offering editing and design support, as well as skills for setting up websites and Facebook pages, blogs, and Twitter accounts, helping to create press releases and marketing plans, and providing many of the other elements that are involved in bringing a book to market. Of course, all of these things are also being done by employees in large publishing houses, where they tend to specialize in a particular task. In the smaller publishing companies, there is a good chance that one person will be performing several of these jobs. Whether you work for a large publisher or a small one, there are many jobs that need to be done: acquisitions, editing, sales, marketing, public relations, negotiating contracts, graphic design, translation, business management, fulfillment, and customer service. You can even start your own publishing company! This new Careers Ebook contains a wealth of unbiased information about an occupational field, based on the latest national surveys. Careers Ebooks cover attractive and unattractive sides, opportunities, education necessary, personal qualifications required, earnings, descriptions of different job specialties, first person accounts by those in the field, and how to get started; including practical advice on what to do now. There are live links to schools and colleges, associations, periodicals and other sources of reliable information."

Book excerpt: The definitive career guide for grad students, adjuncts, post-docs and anyone else eager to get tenure or turn their Ph.D. into their ideal job Each year tens of thousands of students will, after years of hard work and enormous amounts of money, earn their Ph.D. And each year only a small percentage of them will land a job that justifies and rewards their investment. For every comfortably tenured professor or well-paid former academic, there are countless underpaid and overworked adjuncts, and many more who simply give up in frustration. Those who do make it share an important asset that separates them from the pack: they have a plan. They understand exactly what they need to do to set themselves up for success. They know what really moves the needle in academic job searches, how to avoid the all-too-common mistakes that sink so many of their peers, and how to decide when to point their Ph.D. toward other, non-academic options. Karen Kelsky has made it her mission to help readers join the select few who get the most out of their Ph.D. As a former tenured professor and department head who oversaw numerous academic job searches, she knows from experience exactly what gets an academic applicant a job. And as the creator of the popular and widely respected advice site The Professor is In, she has helped countless Ph.D.’s turn themselves into stronger applicants and land their dream careers. Now, for the first time ever, Karen has poured all her best advice into a single handy guide that addresses the most important issues facing any Ph.D., including: -When, where, and what to publish -Writing a foolproof grant application -Cultivating references and crafting the perfect CV -Acing the job talk and campus interview -Avoiding the adjunct trap -Making the leap to nonacademic work, when the time is right The Professor Is In addresses all of these issues, and many more.

Presented in a series of conversations between grandmother Minnie Bloch and her companions, Alan Cheuse, National Public Radio commentator on All Things Considered, unfolds a layered family portrait of three generations of the Bloch family, whose members are collapsing under everyday burdens and brutal betrayals. Her son Manny is a renowned, almost legendary rabbi. Respected by his congregants and surrounded by family, no one suspects that he yearns for a life of greater personal glory, but when an oracular bird delivers what Manny believes to be a message from his deceased father, he abandons his congregation in pursuit of a life in business and his entire life spirals out of control. As Manny’s fortunes rise in the corporate realm, he falls deeper into an affair with a congregant, a Holocaust survivor, his wife sinks deeper into alcoholism and depression and his daughter, traumatized by a sexual scandal at college, makes Manny the target of a plot to shatter his newly-found empire. The devoted family matriarch, Minnie, observes and recounts the tragic downfall of her family, unable to save them from themselves.
