I started out working at Harcourt in San Diego. I got a job in the very not sexy imprint of Professional Pub which did the big accounting principal books (GAAP Guide) —there were 2 other interactions. I mainly did marking, before carving out a little niche handling the CPE (continuing professional education)… I said it wasn’t sexy.

Then a very coveted job in Children’s books opened up. I was one of the first to know because the mail guy insisted on giving me the mail for children’s and I’d become a giant pest to one of the secretaries there. I then started my dream job after 2 years in Pro Pub.
Then when I moved back to NYC I saw a job listing for S&S and one of the exec editors was the former President I worked for in San Diego. That’s the other thing about publishing you will see the same people at different houses. So always be nice. An intern I knew became a director of foreign rights, 2 years later…
