Printed: The Editorial Department

In this second episode of Printed's "Department Series", join our host Vanessa Gomez and two amazing guests, Hazel Millar and Jay Millar, co-publishers at Book*hug Press, as they talk about the editorial department in a publishing house. During this conversation, they discuss the general tasks the department handles and how they are involved in creating a book.

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 both Hazel and Jay if you are in a tough moment of your job search.

We hope you enjoy the rest of the episodes in this season, and do not forget to subscribe and follow the podcast. You can also visit our website, the publishinguide.com, for free resources to help you on your publishing journey, and find us on Instagram @thepublishinguide.
