Events and outreach: if you’re a new or prospective student of book publishing, chances are you’ve come across this term once or twice when looking into the program or researching the publishing industry in general. The term itself can be a bit vague, since it can encompass a lot of things. I didn’t know exactly what it was either when I first started at Ooligan. At the time, I knew it had something to do with a conference, and since I’m an avid convention goer, that was enough to hook me in. But once I started working with the team, I got a better sense of what it was, how important it was, and what it meant to be a part of it.

Write to Publish Is Getting Closer!
By Kellie Doherty and Chelsea Lobey Kellie_Doherty
Hello, again! This term has flown by. I can’t believe it’s the end of November! Our team is doing a great job locking everything down for this event. We had a bit of a shake up in the beginning of this month: Katrina, one of our team members, had to drop the class, and Georgia […]
