It says that your site is dangerous and my computer blocks it. Can't open any of the link? 😢

[@VegasGoddess]

Thank you for this! I am wanting to get into the editorial aspect of publishing. I've worked for Disney for over 10 years, so children's stories hold a huge and special place in my heart! I'm hoping that when the time comes it'll be a standout fact when I'm applying to jobs!

[@AinChiara]

I'm sure your amazing experience will help, good luck 😊

[@elizabethbrown9311]

Loved this excellent break down. It was really inspiring, but also honest and direct. I like how you clearly love what you do, but you didn't fluff it up, you talked about the necessary "grit" and work ethic. Thank you for the great advice!!

[@priyankachandi1129]

This has given me the push I needed to not give up on applying! Thanks for such an informative video.

[@AinChiara]

So glad it was helpful, thank you for watching! 😊

[@pjthgllhp6273]

This was so helpful! I’m about to start an accelerated grad-school program for publishing. I’m a little worried that after I complete it, I’ll struggle to find a job. This was encouraging, thanks!

[@AinChiara]

Good luck with your program!!

[@lilyput83]

I'm sorry but I just clicked one of your links, and it took me to an uninstal / install page, which looked very much like malware.

[@jenniferwatts6782]

Such helpful content! Thank you!

[@bennett961]

Hi Ain, I appreciate your honesty and realism about landing the dream job. I found your video about the publishing industry and getting a job in it, to be more realistic and informative because you don’t try to pretend that it will be easy. I appreciate all of the information you shared. I would love to chat and pick your brain a little bit more, if you are available!

[@AinChiara]

Thank you for watching Remington!! I have some more information on my website on publishing and there are my contact details too.

[@nibeditaroy8022]

Wow! Just when I thought I was having doubts regarding my career choices but then I came across this video. I'm Indian and a law student (IPR Honors) though I'm in my final year of uni I'm thinking to dive into publishing as I'm a writer and written tons of fiction in my spare time. I'm thinking to go for masters in publishing in the UK only because I'm a foreign national just like you said. I really hope I'm making the right decision 😣

[@sushamachandran7177]

Hey, did you end up doing the masters?

[@bambinakatarina]

This was super helpful! I’m applying for jobs in publishing right now & someone who works at Penguin recommended your video to me ☺️

[@AinChiara]

Thanks so much!! There'll be more videos on publishing coming in the next few weeks 🙂

[@terrehm2974]

This has been so helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@AinChiara]

So glad you found helpful, Terreh!! 😊

[@giulikey]

Very helpful and honest content, we need this kind of videos! Great work

[@AinChiara]

Grazie amica ❤

[@shantelleguinto7118]

Hi Ain! Wonderful content. I got a degree that's actually unrelated to publishing, so I was wondering if you had any advice for someone looking to gain experience and grow their resume/cv to hopefully stand a chance in this competitive industry?

[@marykarayel6552]

Hi Ain, catching up on all your publishing videos and I am finding them so helpful! Thank you :)

[@AinChiara]

Thank you so much for watching! 😊

[@biancarohbianca]

Hi Ain, thank you for your video! It was so concise and helpful. I was wondering if you had any advice for recent graduates (Masters) on how to get into the publishing industry if our major is not related to publishing. Thank you!

[@AinChiara]

Check out my other videos in the publishing notes playlist, I have quite a few 😊

[@aarontalledo5203]

fantastic video! I’m in college, currently interning with a magazine and am trying to figure out where to go within this career field.

[@AinChiara]

Thanks for watching Aaron!! Hope the internship goes well and let me know if there's anything I can share to help your journey 😊

[@federicatrogu6878]

Great video, thank you so much for sharing and for the honest take on applying for jobs! 🌸 And of course, also for showing us your bookshelfves. 👀Much appreciated!

[@AinChiara]

Thank you Federica, always a pleasure to share some info (& any excuse to show my bookshelves!!). Let me know if you have any questions 😊

[@gretamilesi3840]

As always, your content is so so helpful! Thank you!

[@AinChiara]

Thanks so much, Greta!! :)

[@oisinharris1138]

Great video, very insightful! Thanks 😊

[@AinChiara]

Thanks so much for watching Oisin!! 🙂

[@buketozgel2212]

Very useful tips again! Thanks for doing this video. One question about the cover letters: Is it supposed to be a unique cover letter per application or do you keep general info for all the applications and adapt it to a specific application? What would be the idea behind writing a good cover letter?

[@AinChiara]

Thanks for watching and great question! Yes, you should always tailor your cover letter to each position you are applying for. I wrote some tips on my website (title is 'How to Write a Great Cover Letter').

[@flaviam.6048]

Love the graphics! 😊

[@AinChiara]

Thanks lovely!! x

[@caro5620]

hey i have an urgent question because i’m deciding whether or not i should defer fall classes...... i’m looking for advice from anyone in the industry on this: is it looked down upon to take 2 internships at once/ not a good look? i would be transparent with both companies but i’m worried to even ask

[@AinChiara]

Hi Caro, sorry for the delay getting back to you! I'd say it depends on whether you can actually keep up with both internships. You want to make sure you can do a really good job as it's a great opportunity. Good luck with your journey and thank you for reaching out 😊

[@melissanock4590]

Thank you so much! This is really helpful! I have only just begun looking and applying and am worried that it is going to take me a long time to land a job, especially in the current climate! I have found that there are not too many jobs advertised for publishing at the moment - is this normal or is this just because of the ongoing pandemic?

[@AinChiara]

Thanks for watching Melissa, so glad you found it helpful! I'd say it's definitely because of the pandemic, there are usually many more entry level roles advertised. Hopefully the situation picks up again soon! x

[@jessperalta742]

Thank you so much for your video! I am a new subscriber and learning everything I can about the field! I am graduating with a degree in Anthropology and a minor in English. I do plan on going to get my Masters in creative writing after graduation! Currently, I am proud of my degree and believe it holds a uniqueness that could contribute to the world of publishing. What is your experience and/or advice regarding those who apply with seemingly unrelating degrees? Would my minor be acceptable as well? Thank you for your advice!!!! ❤️

[@CareerPathWorldwide]

Thanks Ain Chiara for the hints with how I can get into publishing, how can I get your help I have written more than 10 books in Swahili and English, I have also published on Amazon with no royalties, my sales are very low to negligible and I don't see if I do benefit from it! I want to get your help! Currently I have started learning how to do editing and Publishing but I'm stack! Please, comment below with how I can get your help

[@AinChiara]

Thank you for watching! I'm not familiar with publishing via Amazon but really hope you manage to make your dream happen 🙏🏻

[@CareerPathWorldwide]

@@AinChiara Sure, though I need your help with how I can establish my publishing house

[@anaclarafreitas8974]

Hi, Ain! I'm from Brazil and my biggest dream is to work in a publishing house outside of my country. I'm graduating next year and I've started to think what exactly do I need to study to get a job in the market. Did you study something specific that you knew would help you or is there maybe a course I could take?

[@AinChiara]

Hi Ana, it really depends on individual circumstances to be honest. I did an MA in Publishing & it helped me, but it's not necessary to enter the industry in the UK. Have a look at my website www.ainsnotes.com, there's lots of info on the industry 😊

[@BooksbyAFoster]

Wonderful video, thank you for the information. Ann Foster BooksbyAFoster
