Editorial Assistant at Myriad Editions, a local Brighton publisher specialising in atlases, graphic non-fiction and fiction.This blog is hopefully to be a record of that time, and my adventures with the Myriad team. I'm already loving what I'm doing with the team, setting up the social networking promotion and emailing authors and editors to drum up some noise for the books we have / are about to publish.
Myriad Towers is a beautiful building, about three blocks down from the sea, in the middle of Hove, which is about half an hours bus ride from my house. I still feel a little rush of pride when I leave my house in my business clothes and get on the bus with all the other business men and women. It's akin to the feeling I'd get when the bus pulled up at the entrance of Sussex campus, a pride and true belief in what we're doing at Myriad HQ.
As we're on that note, Myriad have a policy of accepting unsolicited manuscripts. The full submission details are here, but for many of my writer friends out there it might be a good opportunity to get your work read by the Editor, my dear Vicky Blunden who shares my passion for cats and cake.
My first two days at Myriad have been filled with exciting fun! From helping whittle down the cover for Nina De La Mer's upcoming novel 4 A.M. to setting up a facebook event for our launch next Tuesday at Canning House for Ed Siegle's Invisibles, I'm loving all the experience I'm getting from working for the Myriad team. Here's a photo from our meeting with the lovely Nina on Wednesday:
I also set up a Spotify playlist for anyone on their way to the Invisibles launch (Or anyone who just wants to get in the mood!) Click the book below to hear the music that's featured in and inspired by Invisibles itself.
I hope you all enjoy it! Enough rambling for now. Stay tuned for more exciting installments of my adventures in Editorial Assistantship!
Love and Samba,
