What is the best way to get into the publishing industry?

Question

Here is some additional info - I have a BA in English and while I do eventually want to write my own books, right now I just want to work in the publishing industry; books or magazines. I have recently relocated to NYC.

Answer 1

As what? An author or do you want to work in the industry? If you are interested in working as an editor or something at a publisher, the answer is a college degree and an internship - preferably in NYC where most of the publishing action is. Then you will start at a low level position - mailroom, slush room or something like that and work your way up. Pax - C
