Editorial Experience
I've hungered for fiction editing experience ever since my first semester of college; so of course I sought out a position as a Fiction Editor that very same semester with Caesura. Caesura is the University of Delaware's one and only undergraduate student literary magazine. 2024 marks my third year as a member on the annual publication's editorial staff, as I've so far contributed to the 2022-2023 and 2021-2022 editions. In this role, I've learned how to select and reject authors' works, as well as make line-by-line edits to fiction writing.
My career at The Review started in the summer of 2022, following my freshman year of college. The Review is the University of Delaware's independent, student-run newspaper, and I first joined it to get copy editing experience under the Mosaic (creative writing) section. As a Copy Editor, I learned everything there is to know about AP Stylebook and fact-checking. The following winter, I stepped into the role of Co-Managing Mosaic Editor.. Now, I'm at the beginning of the editing chain and give developmental and line-by-line edits to my writers.
