Phoebe Morgan is Editorial Director at HarperCollins UK (HarperFiction and Avon). We talk about her career path and how her approach as an editor varies when working on different genres. Phoebe also gives brilliant advice for those applying to entry-level positions in publishing, as well as for those trying to advance their career. We also discuss her writing career, how to manage a side hustle alongside a full-time job, and how she thinks the publishing industry has evolved in the past few years.
