Publishing Manager Jobs in Illinois

A Publishing Manager plays a crucial role in the publishing industry by overseeing and coordinating the publication process from the inception of a manuscript to its final distribution. They manage the budget, maintain schedules, liaise with authors, and coordinate with other departments such as sales, marketing, and design to ensure the successful publication of a book. They also monitor market trends to identify potential opportunities and make strategic decisions about what content to publish.
