'This is an excellent guide for all aspiring editorial staff and, indeed, established editors. Gill Davies gives a very clear and in-depth picture of how to acquire and live with an editorial job-title. Her information is delivered in an authoritative, brisk style with a dash of wry humour and clear enthusiasm for a job which can be both exciting, very rewarding and very nerve-racking. Established editors can also learn from this book and I shall happily recommend it to all the staff I help to train.'
Mary Tapissier, former Director (now retired), HR and Training, Hodder Headline Publishing

For this edition, Gill adds more guidance on handling new lists following mergers and takeovers, and on the demands of digital technology. New case-studies illustrate the commercial and practical problems that editors must address in today's complex and demanding marketplace.
