Promotions Director – Elspeth McClanahan
Art Director – Kelly Shorten
Director of Editorial Production – Coreen Montagna
She has a doctorate in Pharmacy, but is an artist at heart. Even while working on her degree from the University at Buffalo, she took as many art classes as she could on the side: ceramics, photography, art history. Cory has been a voracious reader since elementary school and was heartbroken when she discovered that there are people who never read books if it isn’t required for work or school. As Musa’s Director of Editorial Production, Cory combines her love of art and words in a wonderfully unexpected way. Her prior experience includes freelance work as a graphic designer and typesetter, as well as working with another publishing house as their lead copy editor and book designer. At Musa, Cory is the Head Copy Editor and is responsible for the interior book layout and formatting as well as eBook production.
Hi Derek! Silent Hills looks interesting. I think Musa's going place.
Hi Dave, if the way they've handled things so far is any kind of indication, we've definitely come to the right place!
Woo-hoo! Well done Derek! So pleased for you. Going to check it out now. Well done!
Great post Derek. Best of luck with your story and Musa 🙂
Thanks Deb and Amaleen, my big day is Oct 14th, when I'll be networking for all I'm worth!
