PublicistPublicists usually work directly with authors and agencies while pitching books and building relationships with reviewers, websites, media outlets, and literary scenes. Publicists may also have to demonstrate exceptional skills in crisis management and damage control if an author or publishing house gets themselves in some hot water with the press or the public. Working in book publishing, a publicist tries to get press attention for the books and authors that Lighthouse publishes.

Marketing ManagerMarketers are often good writers themselves as they get to put their writing skills to use in creating press releases, media kits, and catalogues, often writing copy that highlights the great features of an author, a book, or a publishing house campaign. A position in marketing for a publishing house can be a grueling job, as it is a fast paced job and our marketing manager is expected to manage the expectations of editors, authors, and publicists with ease and efficiency.
