Development

The world of publishing is vibrant, rich, inspiring and exciting. We want to help everyone who works here to reach their full potential, whoever they are and whatever they do.

That’s why we have so many incredible opportunities for our people to keep learning at every stage of their careers. From proofreading to pitching, and negotiating deals to digital marketing, we offer workshops, author talks and expert insights alongside leadership programmes.

We believe in the powerful impact of mentoring and offer a range of programmes to choose from, including the opportunity to receive guidance from board members and other key people within the company. It’s a powerful way to take charge when it comes to shaping your own story and career development with us.
