As a professional book editor who has worked with hundreds of authors over the past decade, I’m often asked about my education and the path that led me here. So, today, I want to talk about my experience studying creative writing in New York City. I’ll be sharing some important lessons I learned about writing and publishing and give you a glimpse into some anecdotes from my program.
