We’re super excited to keep recruiting for these publishing jobs of the future!
Suzanne’s advice for those looking to get into publishing: companies outside of publishing will look for publishing skills for their websites, brochures etc., build up your skills and look outside of the big 5
What are people looking for? Support, manageable workloads, a team and a job that’s creatively fulfilling. Working somewhere with a sense of purpose, community, sustainability and career opportunities
Important to have the basic soft skills, in prioritisation and organisation, to make those hard skills in editorial or sales etc. work
In the industry at the moment there seems more of a need for problem solvers. If something won’t work, come up with ideas of what would works. Bring energy, pro-activity and positivity!
People skills have always been needed in the industry, and author care is a huge part of editorial, reassuring an author, who might not understand the process, which cannot be replaced by AI!
Springer Nature are moving to being a skills based organisation rather than the focus on titles. Everything is evolving, there will be opportunities in research integrity, experts will be needed to check the output of AI
If a company is fully remote, we see a lot of support and infrastructure to ensure new starters are set up for success
It’s all about balance - with early career individuals the office time can be invaluable to learn, especially with the relationships you build, but there are considerations of cost and work life balance
How is the workplace changing? We’ve had some fantastic work on job shares recently, which does brilliant things to keep talent that may have otherwise left the industry. We’re seeing hybrid working very much as the norm and the remote working helps for diversity and inclusion within the industry
At Inspired we recruit across various sectors in publishing and there’s a variation across those sectors in terms of the roles. We’ve seen a digital revolution in publishing before, with the same job divisions but digital added, AI may be a similar revolution, with data engineers, data scientists
What job titles are emerging? Still need excellent copywriting, commissioning, marketing, publicity, sales and still need to make the books, production etc. - they can maybe just be done slightly quicker
A lot of assistant roles are admin focussed - things will likely change, not replace the jobs but free up time to do more creative things, and less repetitive
For future proofing your career, lean into AI whether it’s in work or outside of work. There are roles now that are AI specific, and employers will often look for at least basic use of AI for prompt engineering
We’re delighted to be at the Publishing Jobs of the Future bookcareers.com panel with Inspired’s CEO Suzy Astbury speaking! #LBF26
So many fantastic points from the wonderful panel!
