My mother was an editor at Dell Publishing (she’d greeted me at birth with “Nice to see you again”).
I worked in a literary agency–Henry Morrison Inc. while going to college. At the agency, I started by delivering manuscripts to publishers in New York City (plenty of subway rides and runs across town), and eventually handled foreign rights, selling on behalf of authors such as Robert Ludlum, David Morrell, Eric Van Lustbader, Justin Scott, Larry Block, and many others.
I went to New York University for both undergraduate and graduate school (where I was inducted into their Hall of Fame), and I earned an MBA in marketing. My thesis, in fact, was on “Marketing in the Publishing Industry,” and it was excerpted in the industry trade journal, Publishers Weekly.
