Description:

This innovative MA, taught by industry experts, offers you the chance to break into the dynamic and competitive publishing industry.

This course explores all aspects of the publishing industry, including editorial and content development, design and production, sales and marketing, and business success and entrepreneurship. Throughout, you will learn how to respond to the exciting new opportunities facing the industry today and in the future.

An industry full of opportunity

The total value of the British book publishing industry has been estimated at around £4.3 billion, the largest in the world in terms of its output per head of population. Some 145,000 new book titles were published in the UK in 2014.

The expansion of digital publishing, the growing sophistication of interactive ebooks and the popularity of ereaders and tablets have brought new dimensions to the industry.

Meanwhile, traditional boundaries between book publishing and periodical publishing are breaking down, with professionals moving much more freely between the sectors. The industry is also becoming more global in outlook and reach, opening up even more opportunities for ambitious graduates.

The Derby MA Publishing is a newly designed programme that is up-to-date, well balanced, thought-provoking and exciting. It covers all industry sectors, from fiction to scholarly; and all job roles from editorial to author rights. It is perhaps the most tightly focused and complete Publishing MA available in the UK today.

Combining print and digital know-how

The MA Publishing has been designed to meet the needs of an industry undergoing dramatic technological and commercial changes.

With the printed book still accounting for around 85% of revenues, we will build your awareness of the traditional aspects of publishing. At the same time, we will ensure you are fully conversant with digital technologies, trends and marketing techniques. By the end of the course, you will be equipped to move seamlessly between print and digital formats whenever required.

New skills for a new era

Publishing companies are keen to dispel the myth that all you need for success in the industry is a love of literature and reading. New entrants are now expected to bring industry-specific professional skills along with qualities such as innovation, versatility, enterprise and problem-solving.

Our MA therefore covers vital insights not just into editorial functions but also into aspects of the business such as leadership and management, project management, marketing, intellectual property law, and finance. This programme provides a comprehensive and well-balanced training to enter a wide variety of careers in publishing and beyond.

Expertise to inspire you

Our teaching team comprises enthusiastic, dedicated academics and practitioners with extensive experience in marketing, journalism and professional writing, as well as the broader publishing industry.

International Students

The British publishing industry is one of the largest and most important in the world, exporting more books than any other country, and at the forefront of many developments such as digital business models, English language publishing, niche products and globalised business. By coming from overseas to study Publishing at MA level International students will receive unparalleled insights, knowledge base and training in every aspect of this dynamic, global industry.
