Want to Work in Publishing? Here’s how you can go about it

India’s publishing industry is vast, varied, and expanding quickly, especially in educational content, regional languages, and emerging digital formats.

If you’ve ever dreamed of working with books, magazines, or content—maybe as an editor, a literary agent, a book publicist, or even just someone who makes things happen behind the scenes—then you are at the right place to learn how to go about it.

In your mind, you might be plagued by questions such as the steps you must take to be accepted in publishing, if there are any trainings you should do, is there a clear-cut path, do you need connections to make it big, how long will it take you to get to the middle or top management in the publishing field etc.

Now there is a course that can help you every step of the way, right from the foundation to being placement support.

Meet the Bound Publishing Course: A Roadmap Into the Industry

The Bound Publishing Course is India’s first industry-led, structured course designed to help you launch a career in publishing, content, and media.

It’s a 3-month live, online course (Sept to Dec 2025) with a step-by-step approach to learning the skills that real publishers, editors, and media professionals use every day. It’s not just about theory—it’s about how publishing really works, from book deals to digital content to rights and marketing.

And yes—there’s a certificate, portfolio-building projects, and career support built in.

Why This Course Matters (Especially If You Don’t Know Where to Start)

Let’s be honest: most traditional education degrees and courses don’t prepare you for a job in publishing.

• You might know how to analyse Shakespeare, but that won’t teach you how to pitch a book or edit a manuscript.
• You could be a great writer, but that doesn’t explain how books get designed, printed, marketed, or sold.
• And networking into the industry? That’s tough if you don’t already have connections.

Bound changes that. They’ve built a course that’s designed for people who are passionate, creative, and ready to work in publishing, but just need a solid foundation and some real-world exposure.

What You’ll Learn

In 100+ hours of live sessions and workshops, you’ll cover:

• How books, magazines, and digital platforms actually get made
• The ins and outs of editing, marketing, rights, sales, and design
• How literary agents work—and how they get books published
• How to pitch, proof, and publish
• Real case studies and simulations based on current industry practices

You’ll also work on real assignments, get feedback from mentors, and build a portfolio that shows off what you can do. And yes, you’ll leave with job-ready skills.

Who Teaches the Course?

Top professionals from the publishing and media world, the CEO of HarperCollins, Editorial Director of Simon & Schuster, Head of content at Conde Nast, and others from leading Indian and international companies.

What Happens After the Course?

Past students are working at India’s top creative companies, such as HarperCollins, Rupa, NotionPress, Pratilipi, Centre for Digital Transformation etc
