If anyone is interested in publishing as a career, or would be interested in being in a BBC Bitesize educational film, take a look at the opportunities below.
1 - The Publisher’s Association:
The Publishers Association, leading not-for-profit
membership organisation for book, journal, audio and electronic publishers in
the UK. As part of our work to support the industry, and to ensure that
publishing as a career is open to all, we are working to educate today’s
students about the opportunities available in publishing. Beyond editorial at a
trade publisher, the publishing industry involves producers, designers,
publicists, marketers, rights managers, salespeople, and more to produce
textbooks, academic journals, fiction, non-fiction, children’s books, and
interactive apps. Although most of the larger publishers are centred in
publishing hubs such as London, Oxford, and Edinburgh, there are many
opportunities throughout the country with local publishers, online publishing
services, and bookshops.
We want to ensure that all students today have access to the
most relevant and up-to-date information about publishing in 2016 and realise
that they can be part of this thriving industry. To achieve this goal,
we’re running a Work in Publishing week 14th – 18th
November 2016, posting regularly about #WorkInPublishing on social media and on
our Careers in Publishing page where we provide
resources to educate students about the opportunities available to them. This
includes, with more to come in the next couple of weeks:
· Posters / guides to publishing informing
students about the different creative talents used in the industry

to cast some young people as part of the campaign to feature in some short

if you could distribute it to suitable candidates who are aged between 16-18 to
see if they would like to get involved. BBC are looking for young people
who have done their exams in the last two years to share their experience and
tips.
