What is In the Read?

In the Read started off as a newsletter about money in the publishing industry. It comprised a series of anonymous interviews with people in the business about how much money they make and how that shapes their lives.

I did about fifteen of these interviews and taken together, they offer a useful insight into how the business itself works and what various jobs actually involve – as well as the money stuff. If you are considering a job in this industry, I would recommend you read them, as most of what you read about the business serves the business itself, not its workers.

I don’t do these interviews anymore as I felt I was making the same point over and over again. I now use this newsletter as a more conventional “writers newsletter” with news about what I’m up to.

Who am I?

I’m Niamh Mulvey, a writer, editor and writing coach. My first book, Hearts and Bones: Love Songs for Late Youth will be published by Picador on June 23rd 2022. My novel The Amendments is coming out in 2023. You can find out more about me on my website.
