A publishing manager takes care of all publications for a company or client. In this job, you often act as the primary contact between the media and a publication. Your specific job duties may include supervising and creating training materials for publishing staff, planning and implementing marketing campaigns, and staying up to date on market trends. You also review and edit print material, approve all copy before publication, negotiate contracts or licensing agreements, and participate in reviews or other promotional activities related to the project. In this role, you may work under a publishing director. This is not an entry-level position, so you should have several years of experience in publishing.
