26.07.19 ~ Hey everyone, it’s been a while!
Last month I’ve finished my first year of this masters program in Publishing I got in. It was a complete change compared to my years as a Philosophy undergrad: small class, lots of hours, practical things to learn, group assignments. Overall I’m happy with how it’s going, although I didn’t always commit myself 100% and I want to work harder.
I have a project to complete for next month where I have to simulate the job of a foreign rights manager working on young adult books: basically I have to do research and pretend to negotiate YA titles (of all genres) with UK, US and French publishers (tbr is getting longer and longer). I really want to do my best since it would be my dream job, but it’s not easy to stay motivated while on summer holidays - most days I end up only watching a lot of series. Starting from tomorrow I’ll put together a serious daily routine so hopefully I’ll be more productive!
