About me

I have just finished my degree in Advertising & Marketing at Southampton Solent University, and I am looking to enter into a career in publishing.

I am interested in the position as I have a passion for publishing. This passion has formed from my dissertation which examined 'The Death of the Book' and the impact of digital on the traditional publishing model. I have a keen interest in the digital developments surrounding publishing and the ways in which these can be used to benefit everyone involved. I also have a interest in the ways in which social media can enhance a brand image and be used to create increased interaction between and brand and their consumers.

I have adept knowledge of Microsoft Office and have used a variety of other programmes including Microsoft Project and a range of design programmes, including Quark Express. I am also very organised having been a Course Representative and the Vice President of an Advertising Society at my university.

I find the editorial side of publishing fascinating and I feel I would learn a lot in this role as well as contributing a fresh outlook. I am often asked by others to look over work and carry out final edits as I am considered to have an eye for errors and high-quality presentation skills.

Thank you for taking the time to consider me, I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Emma Manington
