Take Control of Your Publishing Career
Whatever role you have in the publishing industry, it’s likely you didn’t get much formal training to do the job. You may be a new (or not so new) agent looking to deepen your knowledge of how a book gets from .doc to shelf, so you can better guide your clients, or perhaps you work in-house at a publisher and feel like that “apprenticeship model” of learning you’ve heard bandied about is not working so well for you.
Our artists need a deep understanding of their industry, too! Creators should not be in the dark about how the industry that produces their work for sale operates. Queen Mab Media exists to give creators a peek behind the curtain, into the businesses they partner with, so that they are on an even playing field with the other members of their teams.
The classes, workshops, and resources at Queen Mab Media can help you take control of your career in the publishing industry, no matter your role.
Empathy is the animating principle at QMM. If we understand the pressures and goals our partners at publishers or other companies face, we can better work within the realm of what’s possible. Together.
Creators First.
Creators can’t control every aspect of a publisher’s campaign or a podcast network’s promotional plan. But QMM teaches creators to codify their goals and career strategy, learn what’s “normal” in the publishing industry, and set their sights on what’s important to them.
