Pros

This is a great environment filled with creative souls devoted to publishing great books. It's pretty much a tote bag party.

Cons

Publishing will never pay well, and you generally have to move out in order to move up.

Pros

Great writing, Top tier production

Cons

The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.
