I'm a Bachelor of Writing student, majoring in Professional Writing and Publishing, in Edith Cowan University. I'll be graduated this June but, being an international student, I can't stay in Australia unless I get a new visa. The problem is that I have to find an employer who's willing to sponsor me first before I can even apply for the visa.
So, what I want to ask here are simple: (1) how did you start working as a publisher/editor, (2) do you know any publishing house that's looking for an editor or at least offer short-term work experience and (3) what do you think about the prospect of publishing career? You don't have to answer all three, but an opinion or two will be very appreciated.
I hope this post helps not only me but other people who are interested in career in publishing/editing. Thank you in advance.
