Sherry Mooney – Editor

Over 11 years experience in literature, anthologies, and short fiction at Macmillan. I'm always looking for exciting new projects!

Overview

Over my career, I have worked for a number of publishers, most notably Macmillan, as well as several small fiction presses. My primary work for the past seven years has been in humanities textbooks, with a focus on literature, anthologies, and composition, though I have done freelance work on several novels over the past couple of years as well. I bring a thorough, careful eye to each project and enjoy working with authors at a wide variety of developmental stages.

I'm open to a variety of projects and genres and love working with new authors!
