Madrid Communication Placement Example

Communication placement in Madrid

A Publishing Company

This publishing company specialized in classic as well as modern literature. They have numerous collections including poetry and children’s books as well as the more classical works. Your tasks include preparing texts in English based on authors’ profiles for international fairs and for the website, working with literary texts, learning about how the editorial process works, translations, and participation in daily office activities.  

I was so pleased because I wasn’t expecting to be able to work for a publishing company, my dream job! I most enjoy the translation project that I have been working on little by little. The exact nature of it is a work in progress and I enjoy the creative aspect of using language in this way. I feel completely integrated and am enjoying seeing all aspects of the business including participating in Madrid Feria del Libro, the international book fair that takes place in the Retiro Park every summer.
