Moving Right Along: What Changing House or Department Means for a Publishing Career

By Kimberly Lew | Published: April 18, 2013

Much of what we talk about here at Trendsetter involves starting your career in publishing, but for those who have already landed the entry level job, a whole new set of challenges presents itself. It’s one thing to get your foot in the door, but how do you ensure that you continue to grow and learn and (hopefully) even get a raise in the process? This past week, our parent site, Publishing Trends, has run a series of articles on “How to Get Your Second Job in Publishing,” and earlier ... Read more

5 Top Publishing News Stories of the Week: 1/7-1/11

By Elisabeth Watson | Published: January 11, 2013

Every week we recommend 5 links to publishing news that the young professional should read to feel more informed and connected to what’s going on in the industry. There are only 5, so even if you weren’t able to read a thing all week, these should help keep you in the know. Amazing what a little Wal-Mart can do: Bookscan started reporting book sales from Wal-Mart, and watched the mass-market category grow by big-box proportions, which is to say, around 65%. Turkish citizens have a lot of reading to catch ... Read more

Interning for a Startup: Can it Offer Everything You Need?

By Elisabeth Watson | Published: September 18, 2012

Last week, we got an interesting query from a reader about evaluating an internship offer. In part, he wrote: Elisabeth, you mentioned that you did an internship with a “really small publisher.” I recently have been looking into a few different opportunities and found a digital publisher, who asked me to come in for a meeting immediately after I asked about possible internships. Evidently, this publisher does not have a physical office, but runs out of the homes of the various 10-15 staff members. …does this sound like a good ... Read more

Book-Jobs Not by the Book: Laura Hazard Owen, Book-Biz Reporter

By Elisabeth Watson | Published: July 23, 2012

It feels incredibly awesome to welcome Laura Hazard Owen to the Book-Jobs, Not by the Book “interview room.” Back in early 2011, when Publishing Trendsetter was just a crazy idea, Laura (then Managing Editor at Publishing Trends) assured me it was a good idea and not even that crazy. If Trendsetter had gotten off the ground at all without her cheerleading, it would have taken a whole lot longer. She’s gone on to report for paidContent and become a [publishing]house-hold name when it comes to knowing and sharing what’s what ... Read more

The Publishing Trends Time Machine: September 2000

By Elisabeth Watson | Published: September 1, 2011

Page 3 of the  September 2000 Publishing Trends  is pleased to bring you a truly timely blast from the past–what with a new Cader (and Schatzkin) venture, Publishers Launch taking off, and with digital books clinging to their role as Permanent Book-Biz Fixation. Personally, I find relief in both the change and continuity: new business ventures grow, technology changes, books still matter, and excitement about that stuff has been around much longer than anyone today has even been alive. Also, I like to think I’m a LOT more popular than I ... Read more
