PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Since April 2017, I have gained experience as a project manager with a trade publisher, efficiently and passionately managing books from conception to publication and all the marketing, editing, and design in between. I've managed project teams of 3 to 8 employees for both book publishing and event planning, and I've created manuals to guide future iterations of project management.
​
Here is a sample of a project management manual I created for Ooligan Press:

EVENT MANAGEMENT
Does your project involve an event? Since August 2013, I've planned and managed a variety of literary events, including author signings, panel discussions, book launches, and full conferences.

In April 2018, I co-managed the tenth annual Write to Publish conference, the largest fundraiser for Ooligan Press. Below is an infographic displaying the conference data:
