How I Became A Book Publicist! 📚 | The Book Belle

[@ZarriahRose]

Love hearing your persistance, it's encouraging and this was very insightful! :)

Loved hearing about your detailed process! Also, it’s so great you have now a job like you wanted it! I have a bachelor on marketing, and I would love nothing more than to use it to work on the publishing industry, unfortunately I live way too far away from any publishing house that could be looking for someone with my profile :(

Working in publishing is my dream and it terrifies me SO MUCH. I know how competitive it is and that's what scares me I guess bc English is not my first language and that is a con so idk if my dream will just live as a dream or if it'll ever be accomplished. Anyways I love watching these sort of videos. There are so few of them!!! So thanks for letting us get a bit in how the industry is through your eyes 💕 what's been your biggest challenge? What makes a cv and resume stand out?

Thanks so much for talking about your job!I recently discovered your channel through researching the industry and I definitely would love to hear more about what you do. I'm also curious if there are different types/specialties in the publicity department, and how to market yourself to get a publishing job or internship.

Getting involved in an industry of preference can be difficult. It’s inspirational to have heard your perspective.

It feels near impossible to get into the industry. I’m hoping my two week work experience will help boost my CV. My question is, what are publishers looking for in your CV and cover letter? I know some people (probably on the off chance) have got into publishing without having to do work experience or an internship...or some even have just worked in a bookshop. This is great but it doesn’t happen for everyone obviously.

Such a great video packed full of advice! :)

Great informative video. I'd love to review books for your publishing company for my blog if you ever need reviewers in the future

As a publicist are you involved with organising promotional events? Publicity is the area of publising I'm most drawn to but responsibilities seem to vary quite a bit between different publishers. Also, what is it that does make a CV stand out from the crowd? I don't think there's anything wrong with mine, but I think I'm missing that something extra that is required. Thanks so much for these publishing related videos!
