As a publishing professional and a mass mentor for publishing hopefuls, I wanted to create an easy-to-use publishing toolkit. This toolkit is full of resources on all things publishing, from how to write the strongest CV to where to look for vacancies and how to handle job interviews.
I run regular #MarketYourMarketing workshops via Zoom once a month, tailored to help entry-level publishers find their dream roles and expand their skills. For more information on #MarketYourMarketing and where to sign up please check out my Courses page.
If you have any questions not answered in this publishing hopeful’s toolkit please leave a comment below or email me.
