Working for Local Author; Amherst, MA

Interning for the author I would research publisher matches and edit writing pieces.
As time went by my responsibilities evolved with what steps the author was on in his pursuit of publication.

I would definitely recommend working alongside a writer for students interested in such a field. Its great to be involved in the process of publication as well as being able to meet people and get your own name out.

I would suggest learning to connect with publishers, finding out what they look for, and how they talk and meet new people while marketing their own names.
