Hi! I’m Lexi. I came to University of Stirling after I graduated from my undergraduate university, Florida State (FSU) in May 2013 with a dual degree in English and Theatre. I have a passion for storytelling in any and all mediums. I chose publishing studies for my postgraduate because I wanted to learn more about the processes of getting a book, or any kind of story out into the world. I am extremely interested in print versus digital publishing, as well as cross-media, or what I like to call the Harry Potter phenomena. I enjoy a wide variety of fiction genres including fantasy, sci-fi, young adult (YA), horror, romance, etc. — so long as it’s well-written and the story is interesting, entertaining, and thought-provoking.

As someone who comes from a background in theatre, I know how important every part of the process of putting on a performance is, and how vital communication during that process is as well. While my interests are primarily editorial, I hope to learn about all the areas of publishing so that I can effectively communicate with other departments and understand the process as a whole. I can’t wait to get to know my fellow classmates and start learning about the business of publishing.

Please feel free to follow me on Facebook, Linkedin, and/or Twitter.
