"I didn't know my job existed and now I travel the world to talk about books!"

Last week you met our People of Publishing. For #WorkInPublishing Week, they’ve given us their advice for starting a career in publishing.

This time next week, we'll be meeting 2025's People of Publishing.
These eight brilliant individuals are behind some of the most interesting, innovative and exciting things happening across our industry.
Look out across social media on Wednesday 12 November to celebrate them!

Last week, we got back from the Conservative Party Conference, meaning that the Publishers Association's activity at the political party conferences is over for another year.
