Advice from the 2012 Summer Publishing Institute Alumni
18 04 2013Each year, 110 students enter the Woolworth Building in lower Manhattan with a shared love of magazines, books, and digital media as part of the renowned NYU Summer Publishing Institute (SPI). They come from all over the United States–and, in fact, all over the globe–to study publishing at New York University in the heart of New York City, the media capital of the world. After an intense six weeks, having gained a great deal of knowledge, industry contacts, and job search tips, they pursue their dream job in publishing by meeting with top media representatives at the annual NYU Center for Publishing career fair.

We were also given the opportunity after the taping of the hit ABC daytime talk show to meet with the producers and members of the team from Hyperion, who published the bestselling companion cookbook, The Chew: Food.
