NYU Summer Publishing Institute
Graduate Student
June - July 2014
Recipient of Certificate in Publishing
I spent six weeks in the loud and famous New York City, forging the kinds of bonds with other people that are only possible through shared all-nighters. It was a whirlwind of planning, writing, editing, and practicing our pitches, and in the end we accomplished it: with two separate groups of ten, we crafted mock launches of a magazine and a publishing house that we invented, and then presented them to a panel of esteemed judges (such as Angela Tribelli of HarperCollins and Donna Lagani of Cosmopolitan).
My magazine group created a magazine entitled Elsewhere, a travel guide for young and thrifty adventurers who wanted to see the world without having to shovel out their bank accounts for it. I served as the articles editor, providing copy for all the designed pages, including the feature story, smaller excerpts, and even some blurbs for Elsewhere's website. My book group launched Pendulum Press, a religious imprint that focused on controversial topics, such as a memoir written by a woman who escaped a cult.
Aside from learning how to navigate the subway, I finished NYU's publishing program with a handful of new friends and a certificate officiating my learning experience.
