Inpress Newsletter
Today is my last day as the Inpress Intern, and although the mood in the office is very sombre due to my departure, my blog will be filled with lots of optimism and gratitude. Before I start gushing about how wonderful my time here has been, I’ll quickly fill you in on what I have been doing as the Inpress Intern since my last blog. Beside from my daily tasks like updating Facebook and the Inpress website, I encouraged Inpress to join the Twitter revolution and I am pleased to announce that Inpress are now tweeting on a regular basis. I’m very happy about this as I feel that I have imparted some of my knowledge to Inpress, in return for the experience Inpress has given me.
I must take this opportunity to thank Will at Flambard Press, who kindly invited me to experience life at an independent publishers. Reading novel submissions sent to Flambard made me realise just how competitive publishing can be, and just how important it is, especially to independent publishers, to select the perfect novel. I was nervous about critiquing what I had read in case Will took my word as gospel and rejected it, and in five years time I would see the book on the shelves hailed as ‘The New Harry Potter’, I don’t think Will would be best pleased if that was the case! Will also set me the task of researching online Book Blogs, and I very much enjoyed reading the book reviews and thoughts of the bloggers. Unlike mine in the past, their fervour for literature is clear to see and has encouraged me to look in to perhaps setting my own blog up. You read it here first, it’s going to be big!
Before I started at Inpress my enthusiasm for literature was waning slightly. I had stopped reading because I couldn’t justify reading for fun when I had university texts like Shakespeare and Chaucer staring me in the face from my desk. However, my internship at Inpress has not only provided valuable work experience, it has completely reignited my passion for books. Rachael and Carol have imparted invaluable wisdom on to my lowly intern shoulders, and I’m delighted to have experienced the wonderful working environment that is Inpress Ltd.
