The world of publishing offers storytellers and literature lovers career paths that can meander from editing, to production, to marketing. If you’re ready to explore the possibilities—from early career to executive leadership—join us Friday, March 1 during LitFest for a behind the scenes look at How to Get a Job in Publishing. This in-depth discussion will feature three distinguished alumni who will share the paths they took that led them to careers with industry leaders Penguin Books, Oxford University Press, and Stanford University Press.

ALUMNI PANELISTS
Sunna Juhn ’18, Editorial Assistant, Stanford University Press
Niko Pfund ’87, President, Oxford University Press

EVENT DETAILS
Each panelist will speak for 10-15 minutes, providing students with an overview of their own career trajectory and some tips for the trade. Following a general Q&A, we will break into small group discussions where students will have the opportunity to ask more direct questions about networking in the field, application advice, and the wide range of job possibilities in publishing.
