On Friday, March 13, 2:00-3:30 over Zoom, the English Department will host a panel on careers in publishing for graduate and undergraduate students. The panelists will discuss how they made their way to their current positions at the Michigan State University Press. Two of the panelists are MSU alums, so they will be able to speak about their pathway from the MSU English major to a position at the press.

The panel will feature the following members of the MSU Press staff:

MSU Press’s publicity manager, Elise Jajuga graduated from MSU in 2006 with a BA in English and a BA in French and has since worked in trade, textbook, and scholarly publishing. She is currently enrolled in the Strategic Communications master’s program at MSU.

Amanda Frost earned a BA in English from the University of Michigan, an MFA in writing from the University of Texas at Austin, and a PhD in English from the University of Kansas. She worked at the University of Texas Press as part of their publishing fellowship program and then as an editor. She is now a project editor at MSU Press.

Natalie Eidenier graduated from MSU in 2010 with a BA in English and marketing. During her undergraduate years, she served as fiction and production editor for the Red Cedar Review, which landed her a student position at MSU Press. A few years later, she is now the journals manager.

Catherine Cocks, MSU Press editor-in-chief, earned a BA in history and Spanish from Williams College and a PhD in history from the University of California, Davis. She has held various positions in scholarly publishing since 2002.
