Hi, everyone! Emily Steele here with some exciting news about the growth and development of Medallion Press’s editorial department. Helen Rosburg, our fearless and wonderful leader, continues to oversee our department as executive editor. Christy Phillippe, our excellent senior editor, is now stepping into the role of editorial director, and I will now fulfill the tasks of editorial manager. In March, we were thrilled to welcome Carolyn Steele as our sci-fi/fantasy editor. And this month, Jessica Vicich, formerly Medallion’s administrative assistant, becomes a part of our very own department as editorial coordinator.

We’re so thankful for Carolyn’s and Jessica’s expertise, and it is with great pleasure that I formally introduce them to you! I’ve asked each of them to share some words with you.

Carolyn?

From cereal boxes to encyclopedias, I never stopped reading as a child; that obsession has only grown with time. As an adult, I strongly subscribe to the theory that all purses should be large enough to accommodate a paperback book, and I continue to devour books, magazines, and Web articles on a wide variety of subjects. Most recently, I worked as an editor at the University of Chicago Press. As part of the Medallion team, I’ll be focusing primarily on fantasy and science fiction—though some of you in romance may see me as well! I’m so thrilled to be part of such a stellar editorial team! I adore the sense of family here at Medallion Press, and look forward to getting to know the authors who comprise the foundation of our enterprise.

Jessica?

I love books. I know that may seem like a given, considering my chosen career, but I adore books—collect them, in fact. Every book I own finds its way to my “keeper” shelves. I love to go back and read books over and over again. No matter how many times I reread a novel, I always find a little something new, a detail that was just waiting to be discovered. I am thrilled to be joining the editorial family, and reading through submissions to find more “keeper” stories. I love being the go-to person for our authors and their voice to the editorial team. I fell in love with Medallion the very first day I walked through the door just over a year and half ago. The feeling of pride I have for this company, one that is shared by each and every staff member, is truly amazing. I feel extremely blessed be part of such a brilliant group of people!

On behalf of everyone at Medallion editorial, thank you for trusting our capable team with your works. We’re so happy to be a part of bringing your books to life!

Editorial Manager
