As the former Editor in Chief at Fulcrum Publishing – a Colorado-based company that has published industry-leading Native American literature, as well as books focused on conservation, Western history, and gardening for the past thirty-five years – Rebecca McEwen worked in all aspects of book publishing and production. Her work encompassed everything from initial manuscript review, through acquisitions and editing, to directing design and printing. With more than 25 years in the industry, she has specialized in educational publishing for publishers in the United States, as well as in New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
Mentor Statement
Publishing is an industry that is in a constant state of flux. With the dawn of self-published books and discounted sales channels, it can be challenging to not only create a book, but to get it in front of the readers who want it. My goal in working with anyone who wants to enter this world – whether it be as an author, an editor, or designer – is to provide guidance and hands-on training that allow that person to enter this world and nimbly respond to both its challenges and opportunities.
