Kelly Lydick - Editor

Immanence launched its first edition in October 2016. It is the preeminent journal of applied mythology.

As a consultant, I work with businesses and individuals to help bring to life projects in writing and the arts. I also consult in dreamwork and personal development.

For International Artist Publishing, I was the Assistant Editor of Western Art Collector magazine and responsible for composition of 8-10 articles for each monthly issue. I also worked with the production team to ensure editorial standards.

At Gently Read Literature, my work was selected by the Editor as one of the top five review writers for the year 2012.

At Perseus Books Group, I was the Editor for the Rick Steves travel series. I managed copyeditors and proofreaders and edited books in all phases of the production process to ensure timely delivery of more than 40 titles each year.
