Taylor Martindale Kean '09 Literary Agent
“For anyone interested in pursuing a job in publishing, I would recommend finding a balance in your courses between classics and modern work. I have found it incredibly helpful to have solid knowledge bases across the board, because that history of literature informs my decisions in working with authors. You want to be able to recognize an author’s inspirations and, alternatively, imagine where they can fit in today’s market. I also recommend taking as many theory classes as possible.”
