20 years ago, at around about this point in September, I got my first job in publishing. I was such a green little graduate and my bosses kindly looked past that and started teaching me everything. So here’s what I know about publishing 🧵 Publishing is not about reading books sitting in cracked-leather armchairs. It’s a business. It’s a business about books, yes, but also about people - personalities, ideas, trends people love or hate, trying to second guess your reader’s opinions. It’s psychology.
