What does a publishing reader do?

A publishing reader assesses manuscripts and author queries sent to a literary agency, publishing house, or publication, such as a literary journal. At large agencies or publications, a professional reader is typically the first person to see a manuscript, and their duties are to assess the merit and viability of each manuscript and determine whether it should be rejected or sent up to an editor or literary agent. At smaller agencies or publications, an agent or editor may be the person responsible for reading manuscripts. Production companies or film agencies have a similar position called a script reader.

What is a reader?

Readers are professionals who review, analyze, and often provide feedback on written works such as manuscripts, scripts, articles, or academic papers. They may work in publishing, education, or entertainment industries, helping to assess the quality and suitability of content for publication, production, or grading. Their role is essential in filtering material, ensuring standards are met, and sometimes recommending edits or further development. Readers may also be referred to as manuscript readers, script readers, or academic readers, depending on the industry. Their expertise helps organizations make informed decisions about which works to promote or advance.

What is the difference between Reader vs Editor?

AspectReaderEditor
Required CredentialsNone typically requiredOften requires a degree in journalism, communications, or related fields
Work EnvironmentMedia outlets, publishing houses, online platformsMedia organizations, publishing companies, online media
Primary ResponsibilitiesReview and provide feedback on contentReview, revise, and approve content for publication
Common UsageReaders, reviewers, feedback providersContent creators, publishers, media professionals

While both Readers and Editors work with content, Readers primarily review and provide feedback without formal editing responsibilities. Editors take a more active role in revising and finalizing content for publication, often requiring specialized credentials. Understanding these differences helps clarify career paths and expectations in media and publishing industries.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a reader, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Reader (such as a university Reader or academic), you need advanced subject knowledge, a track record of published research, and often a doctoral degree. Familiarity with academic databases, research software, and citation management tools is typically required. Strong analytical thinking, clear communication, and mentoring abilities help a Reader stand out in both research and teaching settings. These skills and qualities are vital for producing impactful scholarship, guiding students, and contributing to the academic community.

How does a reader typically collaborate with other academics or faculty members in a university setting?

In a university setting, Readers often work closely with other faculty members to develop curriculum, supervise research projects, and participate in departmental meetings. They may also collaborate on interdisciplinary research initiatives or co-author publications with colleagues. This collaborative environment helps Readers stay engaged with the latest developments in their field and provides opportunities for mentorship and professional growth. Effective communication and teamwork are essential for success in this role.

Job description

About Metergy Solutions Inc. ("Metergy") 
 
Metergy has the energy, rapid growth and excitement of a startup, together with a rock-solid, recession-proof business that has a 45 year track record. We're a technology company that drives huge carbon emission reductions. This is a once-in-a-career opportunity.
 
As one of North America's most experienced submetering providers, Metergy has brought turnkey solutions to clients for over 45 years. Metergy supplies, installs and remotely reads meters to measure individual suite consumption of electricity, water, gas, and thermal energy in multi-residential and commercial buildings, and bills and collects for the cost of commodities and administrative charges for the services provided. The business model allows for long-term recurring revenue through an innovative Submetering as a Service (SaaS) model. Submetering is proven to reduce in-suite energy consumption by 40%, driving decarbonization efforts for Metergy's clients. This performance has enabled Metergy to issue green bonds and obtain green financing.   
 
Positioned as the #1 submeter provider in the New York and Canadian markets, and one of the largest in North America, Metergy has more than 900,000 contracted meters, issues over 4M utility bills annually and has over 500 team members. Metergy is a portfolio company of Brookfield Infrastructure Partners. Brookfield is one of the world's largest investors, owners and operators of infrastructure assets across the utilities, transport, energy, data and sustainable resources sectors. This sponsorship provides Metergy with access to large-scale capital, infrastructure investment expertise and global reach.  
 
Our Mission 
 
Provide building owners and occupants with accurate and reliable utility consumption data through market-leading expertise in turnkey submetering and billing, while fostering a workplace with inspired team members empowered to do more good. 
 
At Metergy, we don't just believe in our people; we champion them. When individuals feel valued, supported, and inspired to grow, incredible things happen. That's why we're thrilled to be recognized as a Great Place to Work for the second consecutive year! This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to building a workplace that's respectful, inclusive, and high-performing.
 
Come be part of a team that leads with passion, thrives on positivity, and delivers with precision. We're proud of who we are and even prouder of where we're headed.
