Careers in Publishing & Writing

Located in a literary and publishing epicenter.

Home to major book publishers, including Houghton-Mifflin, Beacon Press, Da Capo Press, MIT Press, Addison-Wesley, David R. Godine, Bedford/St. Martin's, Allyn Bacon, and Pearson, and with Boston magazine, Ploughshares, Cook's Illustrated, and Body & Soul also based here, Boston is ideal for launching your career in the publishing industry. Emerson's campus is only blocks away from many of these industry giants.

Publishing & Writing alumni have gone on to become leaders in the publishing industry, working as literary agents and critics, editorial consultants, book and magazine editors, magazine writers, publicists, marketers, and print production specialists. With the range of skills developed at Emerson, our graduates find that they are able to comfortably make the transition from one role in the publishing process to another, as well as advance quickly into senior positions.
