I have an interview!

[zalena]

I have an interview with the trade division of Rowman & Littlefield Tuesday afternoon for a position as Assistant Editor. Getting this job, a position with a trade publisher with offices located in Boulder, would be quite a coup as Boulder is considered a desirable place to live, and publishing jobs there are few and far between. Please wish me luck.

Also, the bookreporter people have agreed to be a reference for me, since my library reference from college seems to have dropped off the map, and I have only had one other significant job since then. They told me, "It's the least I can do for all the excellent work you do for us. Your reviews are consistently well-written and insightful, and you're great with deadlines. It's a pleasure working with you!" I knew there was a reason I've persisted with doing two reviews a month, for no more pay than free books and praise.

I have spent most the morning crazily typing away at the computer, (I had a review due this morning, and some photo research to follow up on) alternating with phone calls (I have six appointments for varying different things next week) and interspersed by bursts of spontaneous samba in the kitchen.

I'm nervous at the idea of going into publishing again, but it's time I had steady work, and this would be a positive move for my career should I choose to stay in the field. It can't hurt to go to an interview. It can't hurt to wish for a positive outcome for all parties involved. It can't hurt to hope.
