Publishing Account Manager Jobs

A Publishing Account Manager serves as the primary point of contact for authors and literary agencies in the publishing industry. They are responsible for overseeing the entire publishing process, from manuscript acquisition to production, marketing, and sales. Their duties often include negotiating contracts, managing schedules, and coordinating with editors, designers, and marketers to ensure the successful publication and promotion of books. They must monitor market trends and customer feedback to help strategize future releases and adjust current marketing plans.

An excellent Publishing Account Manager should possess strong communication and negotiation skills, an understanding of the publishing process, and an ability to build and maintain relationships with authors, suppliers, and other industry professionals. A degree in business, management, marketing, or a similar field is usually required, but strong experience within the publishing industry may sometimes be considered in lieu of formal education. Prior roles that could lead to a position as a Publishing Account Manager could include Literary Agent, Editorial Assistant, or Book Marketing Specialist. A background in sales or marketing could also be beneficial.
