Programme Synopsis What does a bookseller or publisher do? Visit a bookseller or publisher and find out first-hand what a typical work day is like for them. In this excursion led by either a bookseller or publisher, the children will be able to get insights into the key elements of a book and the publishing process. For the field trip to the publishing house, the children will get to meet some of the people who work behind-the-scenes to produce a book, including editors, illustrators and designers. The visit to the bookseller will expose the children to the various children’s book genres and gain an understanding of the anatomy of books. The experiential sessions will lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of books. Sign up for both the visit to the publishing house and the bookseller to get a complete experience of the book industry.
