You can do anything with an English major! Here's what I did with mine...
Moved to New York and became a book editor acquiring fiction and nonfiction. I’ve been lucky enough to see my authors win awards – the Pulitzer, the Pen, the Edgar, the Grammy, etc. – and to publish over 100 national bestsellers. Along the way, I’ve lunched with rock stars, worked with sports Hall of Famers, and helped shape the memoirs of a U.S. Vice President and, also, a Secretary of State. I couldn’t have done it without the knowledge I received at UMass.
