Interview with Hannah Barnes-Murphy, book editor. Age 24. Comes from Salisbury, Wiltshire.

What does a book editor do?
Is this what you always wanted to do?
So did you study something related to that career choice?
How did you get your present job?
What do you like most about it?
It sounds a great job. Is there anything that's not so good about it?
Any advice?
You've got to show initiative; you can't sit back and expect work to come to you. It's important to get work experience, and you've got to be really pushy just to get that! Also, I think it's a good idea to decide on the aspect of publishing that you're interested in and then get the most relevant qualifications you can. You've got to have what employers want.
Do you look forward to work every day?
