Lots of reading submitted manuscripts, query letters, and helping agents to decide which ones make it to the top. Wonderful opportunity to network with fellow industry professionals, authors, publishers and editors alike!

I first had my own book edited by Kate Angelella, AE's founder, when I was a teenager, and a while later I had the wonderful opportunity to intern there, which led the way to me now having worked here for years! I've gotten to work with authors and writers of every kind, reading and editing every kind of book, and is the greatest pleasure I could have!
