Hi there! I recently graduated with my masters degree (great timing, right?), and I'm looking for a job in publishing! I'm pursuing production and editorial careers, and would love to work with an independent publisher. [thread!]

I have 2 degrees in Writing, Rhetoric & Technical Communication from JMU. My research focus is accessibility in digital genre spaces, coursework included editing, publication management, genre writing, online design, digital cultures, ethics, grant/proposal writing, and more!
I currently volunteer with @strangehorizons as an Accessibility Editor and with the Development/PR team (I am incredibly proud to be part of the SH team, y'all). I read (so many!) amazing stories, write tons of emails, and research anything and everything someone asks for!
I also work with @SkiffyandFanty, the lovely folks who first welcomed me into the SFF community with wide open arms and lots of wonderful advice. If I wasn't so busy, I swear I'd be on more podcasts
for now, enjoy my exclamations of horror on holiday edition Torture Cinemas.

And I'm a bookseller! I work at my local comic shop @secretlaircomic and at a chain bookstore. My favorite things are recommending books to people and getting more parents to buy graphic novels for their kids (yes, they're real books, please just let them read what they want!)
seriously throughâif I didn't have student loans to pay off I'd be a bookseller forever, it's one of my favorite things in the world. But I love the behind the scenes work that goes into publishing and getting books to stores and readers more, and I want to do those jobs!
I have experience editing fiction (short stories, novellas, and novels), and nonfiction (articles and essays, research and thesis papers, manuals and handbooks, podcasts), and I'm an excellent note taker (for real, every job listing ever says you have to take meeting notes).
I have published/presented/been accepted to present on work ranging from cross-cultural mythology and storytelling, accessibility studies of popular digital SFF magazines, craftivism and protest, the rhetoric of nuclear waste warning messages (it's interesting, I swear) and more!
In conclusion: hire me! Message me here or on my website, or email me at evansrebecca96@ gmail with work inquiries or questions. Thanks for reading! [end thread!]
