The world of book publishing is not as elusive as it may seem; though it is a
small industry, it is one that’s ever‑changing and inclusive, looking to reach
a vast audience with its diversity of storytelling. Book publishing is also
not an industry that’s widely spoken about when discussing career options
while in school but it is, however, a wonderful, creative, and passion‑fueled
business that’s as eager to tell you all about it as much as you may be eager
to learn.
Simon & Schuster will be offering a sneak peek behind the scenes by offering
a select group a chance to participate in a week‑long virtual careers in book
publishing lecture series FOR FREE. To be eligible for this program, you
must be either a 2022 or 2023 college/university graduate from either an
undergraduate or graduate program.
This program will offer a glimpse into every aspect of the business through
the voices and stories of our own employees in a wide assortment of
departments. What does it really mean to be an editor? How does a book
get acquired? What’s involved in creating a marketing plan? What goes on
in subsidiary rights? What do the salespeople do? These are just some of
the questions we’ll answer as we take you virtually inside our building and
the many departments that work on getting that next bestseller on the
bookshelf and into your hands.
To be considered for the program, please submit a resume along with a
cover letter explaining why this program would be of interest to you. Please
note that you must be either a 2022 or 2023 graduate to be eligible.
Applications should be submitted through our Simon & Schuster career site
