She brought some books that she\u2019d worked on to hand out and I snagged a book that had been on my list for a few months, then read it a few weeks later. Come fall, I was in a class with a different editor named John who asked us to find authors who fit a specific theme for an upcoming project. I suggested the author of the book I\u2019d gotten from Katie. Only to find out that John\u2019s wife is the author\u2019s agent, and that Katie would actually be coming to speak to the class the next week.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This experience fed into my fear that publishing is run by, like, fifteen people. It\u2019s not, of course, but there are a lot of industries with scenes like this\u2014they have a handful of key players who all seem to run in the same circles. This social setup can make networking extra challenging\u2014not unlike vying for a seat at the \u201cpopular\u201d table in a movie high school\u2019s cafeteria.<a href=\"http:\/\/vault.com\/blog\/networking\/networking-in-close-knit-industries?&amp;utm_source=WCU_Letter&amp;utm_medium=Newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=01_08_2019&amp;referer_ID=7778&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=103210\"><strong> [READ MORE for]<\/strong> <\/a>some tips on how to get in with a crowd that feels \u201cinvite only.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by\u00a0Kaitlin McManus\u00a0| January 07, 2019 Re-posted from Vault Let me tell you a little story about small working communities: Two summers ago, I went to a panel where an editor named Katie was speaking.
