About Macmillan Salaries
Macmillan is one of the Big Five trade publishers headquartered in New York City. Salary data on this page comes from Macmillan job postings in our database that include disclosed pay ranges — drawn from both active listings and historical postings in the current calendar year.
Macmillan Publishers is a privately held major trade publisher with a diverse New York portfolio: Farrar, Straus and Giroux for literary fiction and poetry, St. Martin's Press for commercial books, Tor for science fiction and fantasy, and Macmillan Children's for younger readers.
NYC's pay transparency law (effective November 2022) requires employers with four or more employees to include salary ranges in job postings, which has made compensation data at major publishers far more visible than in previous years.
