In Phill’s own words,

“A Day in the Life of a Scholarly Publisher is the third of the fall seminars and the first part of a two-part series on professional development. Attendees can expect to be entertained and informed by a series of very experienced public speakers who’ll give them a personalized guided tour of the publishing industry as they see it. Whether attendees are in the industry themselves or looking to learn more about it, there’ll be insights into the sorts of things that publishers actually do on a daily basis, as well as advice on career paths, getting hired and making a difference in scholarly communication.”
