Join us for an insightful panel on what it's like to work in publishing, how to land a job, and how to make change in the industry.
About this Event

Have you ever wanted to work in publishing or have questions about the industry? This panel is for you. Come hear from Jordan Hill Forney (Marketing Manager at Penguin Random House), Sade Collier (Publicity Assistant with Knopf), and Hiab Debessai (Editorial Assistant with One World) as they discuss how they landed their jobs, what their roles are like, where the industry is headed, and how we can continue to make change for Black people in publishing. There will be a Q+A portion after the panel for those who are interested in landing jobs in publishing or just have general questions about how the industry works.
