Ask most publishing professionals over a certain age — those who’ve been in the game fifteen years or more — how we came into a career in publishing, and you’re likely to hear a tale of stumbling serendipitously into an entry-level job with some publisher or other, perhaps after an English, journalism, or similar degree, and being smitten for life. Over the past several years, however, I’ve noted that newer entrants, millennials, and the millennial-adjacent, are increasingly intentional about engaging in a career in publishing.
