My Masters in Publishing - A Review

About a month ago it was finally time to say: Finished!! I handed in my dissertation and with it my final piece of work for my masters degree. I still can't believe that soon, I won't be a student anymore. It is a weird feeling to know that after 18 years, I am now officially leaving the education system and entering the working life. While at some point, I might miss some of the freedoms the student life entails, at the moment I cannot wait to start working and making use of all the knowledge I obtained during the masters and my work experience.

New Year, New Dress, New Goals

A new year usually starts with the famous New Year's resolutions. Even though doing more sports wouldn't have been the worst idea, I wanted to change something on my little blog. I decided to give it a new design, a new dress so to say -  and here it is!

First Steps in Publishing - One Semester in Cambridge

I can't believe that my first semester as a publishing student is already over. It still feels like I only started a couple of weeks ago. But at the same time, the girl who arrived at Heathrow three month ago seems to be someone else. Someone who belonged to another life, a life that is no longer mine.

Let the Adventure Begin

My publishing adventure began about a year ago when I did my first internship with a publishing house. I instantly got very excited about the whole place and the wonderful people I worked with and soaked up all information like a sponge. After a couple of weeks, I was already sure that I wanted to pursue a career in the publishing business. I enjoyed reading manuscripts and looking for possible translations on the foreign market. I started to care even more about commas and full stops while doing some final proofreading and I was amazed about the opportunities digitisation offers.
