Jobs within the publishing industry is a great career path to follow. The industry has had to change quite a bit over the last few years since digital book have started to make an appearance. More and more people are now buying digital copies of books and therefore in order to keep up with the current digital market, publishers realised they needed to follow suit creating ebooks and apps ect.
Kindle was one of the first devices that was aimed solely at digital books. It saw many people whom previously did not have much of an interest in reading books, get back in to it. It was easy to carry a huge selection of books with you whilst only take up the room of one. This makes the Kindle device a favourite for people who do a lot of travelling.
If you are considering a career in publishing then there are certain skills that employers are looking out for. You should have an interest in digital literacy, an entrepreneurial mind-set, and an appreciation of changes across other media and throughout society. You need to be able to work to tight deadlines and have a good knowledge of editing and marketing. You can often land a job as a junior publisher with little or no experience.
