Printed: The Publicity Department

In this third episode of Printed's "Department Series", join our host Vanessa Gomez and Sanna Wani, Publicity Manager of Between the Lines, as they talk about the publicity department in a publishing house. During this conversation, they discuss the general tasks the department handles and their involvement in a book's promotional campaigns.

Plus, for all those who want to join the department, there is a section with advice for your portfolio and application.

The episode also has a fun literary pop-up quiz and some encouraging words from Sanna if you are in a tough moment of your job search.
