A Day in the Life - Naomi Colthurst, Editorial Assistant

Ever wonder what an editorial assistant does day-to-day? Naomi Colthurst, editorial assistant at Hot Key Books, pulls back the curtain on what it's really like. This is part one in our five-part Day in the Life Series, where assistants across all our departments will share a bit about what it's like to work in publishing.

hi naomi can u ask what is the difference between editorial assistant and publishing assistant. these two roles are available and I am looking to apply for one but being new to the publishing world....not too sure which to go for any feedback will be helpful

Hello Naomi! I now this is a quite late comment but I just found out your video. i was wondering whether you find it tiring, sometimes, to read books for work and not for pleasure. Don't you miss just to choose any book that you like and read? I am going to study a Master in Publishing and this is one of my biggest fears.

Wow, you're super organised - I completely get the need for spreadsheets - it'd be chaos where I work without them!
