This involves formulating strategies, setting goals, creating and implementing policies, and coordinating operations in areas like editorial, production, sales, and marketing. They are also responsible for financial management, ensuring profitability and growth. The General Manager is often the point of contact with authors, agents, and other key stakeholders, and must manage these relationships effectively. They must keep abreast of trends in the publishing industry and adapt strategies accordingly.

Key skills for a Publishing General Manager include leadership, strategic thinking, financial acumen, excellent communication, and project management skills. They should have a deep understanding of the publishing process, from manuscript acquisition to production and distribution. A degree in business management or a related field is usually required, and many employers also prefer certification in publishing or a relevant industry. Prior experience in the publishing industry is crucial; a General Manager might previously have held roles such as Editorial Manager, Production Manager, or Sales and Marketing Manager.
