For this first episode, all about working in Editorial, I visited Penguin Random House offices in London to interview Simon Winder, Publishing Director at Penguin Press and Ellen Davies (on Twitter @ellenannedavies), Editorial Assistant.
Update: blog post interview with Ellen in May 2020 - https://www.publishing-insight.com/post/2-years-later-ellen-johl
