So, you want a job in the publishing industry. Maybe you don’t know what area of publishing you’re good at, just yet. Or maybe you know exactly what job you want but don’t know where to get started. Or just maybe, you want to explore your interests and see which one sticks.
A publishing course is your playground to learn and find out. Not only can you delve into subjects you’re curious about, you also come out of it equipped with insights from experts on all things publishing. The Bound Publishing Course (TBPC) is one such certification course where you can get the foundations of the publishing world, and find a specialisation for yourself.

Here are 4 jobs a publishing course like TBPC can prep you for:
- Book Editing: A publishing course generally covers everything you need to know about turning a raw manuscript into a finished product. This includes all kinds of editing, writing blurbs and pitches, proofreading, and more. Publishing courses, including the one we have to offer, can help you develop a critical eye and prepare you for job roles that require you to edit with the reader in mind.
- Marketing and PR: If it weren’t for brilliant marketing strategies, you probably would never have stumbled upon your favourite book. Book publishing courses can equip you with everything you need to know about book marketing, including launch campaigns, influencer outreach, and email marketing. They can help you understand reader behaviour and trends, enabling you to create tailor-made strategies to ensure a book gets all the love it deserves.
- Literary Agenting: To be a literary agent, you need to have a mix of editorial talent and business savvy. While publishing courses can help you understand contracts and rights, they also help you develop an eye to identify potential bestsellers. With The Bound Publishing Course, you can get direct insights from literary agencies themselves.
- Book Cover Designing: Are you more into graphics and art direction? Publishing courses cover that too! Many publishing course modules focus on book cover designing and genre-specific design trends that allow you to unleash the artist within you.
Whatever field of publishing you’re interested in, publishing certification programmes can be your stepping stone into the industry. We at Bound offer India’s first comprehensive publishing course that’s completely online, and where you can get direct insights from industry experts and a certificate that gives you credibility in the field! We also host a recruitment drive as part of TBPC so you can potentially land the publishing job of your dreams!
