Celebrating over 25 years at W. W. Norton, Benjamin Reynolds is one of Norton’s associate directors of college production.

His advice to those starting out in publishing? “Explore the wide variety of career opportunities that book publishing offers. Often, people who start in one department find a true home in another.
