She also provides training on courses for young editors run by the Publishing Training Centre and other organisations.

Recenzii

'This is an excellent guide for all aspiring editorial staff and, indeed, established editors. Gill Davies gives a very clear and in-depth picture of how to acquire and live with an editorial job-title. Her information is delivered in an authoritative, brisk style with a dash of wry humour and clear enthusiasm for a job which can be both exciting, very rewarding and very nerve-racking. Established editors can also learn from this book and I shall happily recommend it to all the staff I help to train' - Mary Tapissier, Director, HR and Training, Hodder Headline Publishing

'This is a first-class complete and measured account of everything that a commissioning editor needs to know - whether they are new, aspiring or 'old hands' ... Ms Davies book should also be compulsory reading for publishing company directors' - Richard Balkwill, Copy Train, a writing, training and copyright service for publishers
