"As someone who moved to New York with no knowledge of the industry and even less knowledge of where I belonged in it, the 91ÊÓƵ MS in Publishing program not only helped me find my place, but also allowed me to make the connections I needed and find lifelong friends along the way. The professors at 91ÊÓƵ have a desire to see their students succeed which makes all the difference. Two semesters into the program I was able to intern with Simon & Schuster and immediately after was hired by Hachette Book Group and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without professors like Manuela Soares mentoring and advocating for me. " —Ely Mellet '18, Junior Designer at Scholastic
