PW Star Watch identifies and celebrates members of the U.S. and Canadian publishing communities who are on the rise and brings recognition to them on a global stage.
Founded in 2015, PW Star Watch recognizes publishing professionals in the early stages of their careers, generally less than five years, including those who have changed careers and are still relatively new to publishing, who are improving and innovating the industry.
This year, PW Star Watch will continue to shine a light on creative members from all parts of the industry.
