.

As a seasoned marketing and publishing professional with a passion for creative storytelling, I bring diverse experiences to every project. Currently working with Unencumbered Press as a Marketing Coordinator working to build our backlists and promote our authors and books to the proper channels.

My journey began with pivotal roles at The Collective Book Studio, Ooligan Press, and Kitchen Table Magazine, where I honed skills in marketing, editing, and book production. At Ooligan Press, I specialized in web design, marketing assistance, and earned the Dennis Stovall First Edition Award. At Kitchen Table Magazine, I contributed to outreach and social media campaigns from June 2020 to December 2022.

Prior experience includes roles as an Editing Assistant at Artichoke Press and Packaging Team Lead at The Missoulian Newspaper, providing a solid foundation in editorial processes and team leadership.

With a Master of Arts in Book Publishing and Editing from Portland State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and English Literature from The University of Montana, along with community engagement experience, I’m poised to contribute effectively to publishing, marketing, and creative projects.

Warm regards,

Megan
