Welcome to The Publishing Practice, your entry to the labyrinth of publishing. Brave the dark cellar packed with strange industry terms, read the upside-down maps of the literary landscape, and unlatch the oriel to fly out to a new castle, filled with opportunities.

The Publishing Practice is run by a Brown University undergraduate student who has had the privilege to study the publishing industry for a semester with an esteemed professor in the English department. The Publishing Practice was developed to shed light on an often confusing and opaque industry for those interested in but unfamiliar with it. 

You can contact this student at lucy_cooper-silvis@brown.edu to suggest improvements to the website, chat about book releases or editorial theory, or bemoan the state of the publishing job market.
