Home to some of the most beloved stories and bestselling authors, Macmillan Publishing sharpened my skills in storytelling, branding, audience engagement, and entertainment publicity. While working on the Tor Books team, Macmillan’s renowned fantasy and science fiction imprint, my work focused on promoting unique stories for a wide range of audiences.

I supported title launches for authors like V.E. Schwab, Olivie Blake, and J.T. Geissinger, working closely with the lead publicist to help build full-scale campaigns, craft pitches and press materials, coordinate events, plan author tours and make sure each story reached the right hands. I managed Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) requests for our most anticipated titles, created social media graphics and strategy, and helped run sweepstakes, giveaways, and retailer promotions to build buzz and momentum.

I also learned how to write and pitch for a wide range of audiences, including LGBTQ+ outlets, women of color, and the plus-size community, ensuring that our reach was as inclusive and thoughtful as the stories we were promoting.

Below is some of my work in action, including bestselling titles I worked on, press materials that landed global media coverage, social media placements and traditional media highlights.
