What skills did you learn as an English major that helped you transition into that job?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Honestly, I never expected to be where I am now. When I finished college, I immediately pursued a Masters of Fine Arts in poetry because that\u2019s what I\u2019d seen my <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-14114 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/12\/10095332\/Elysia-Smith-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/12\/10095332\/Elysia-Smith-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/12\/10095332\/Elysia-Smith-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/12\/10095332\/Elysia-Smith-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/12\/10095332\/Elysia-Smith.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>friends do, not because I had much interest in teaching college. Despite this, my MFA was an excellent decision and I was blessed to be able to eat, sleep, and breathe poetry in Boston, one of the most literary cities in the US. Poetry has always been my thing, so if you\u2019d said to me even a year ago that I\u2019d be working in marketing, I\u2019d probably have laughed at you.<\/p>\n<p>Although it\u2019s difficult to make a career out of poetry, I\u2019ve been doing community development work for the last five years including running the Writers\u2019 Community at Ball State along with a pop up art show and collective called <a href=\"https:\/\/glueandscissorssociety.tumblr.com\/\">Glue &amp; Scissors Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, at my current job, not only am I getting to write every day, I\u2019m still running community programs and workshops. I\u2019m in charge of a space in our Fountain Square office called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GreenRoomIndy\/\">The Green Room<\/a> and there I run a gallery, host a monthly writing workshop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IndyWordLab\/\">called Indy Word Lab<\/a>, and am working to create a community flex space to support all types of groups. Most recently, I\u2019ve entered into a partnership with a local group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fafcollective317\/\">called Face \u00c1 Face<\/a>, and I\u2019m very excited to see what we can accomplish together.<\/p>\n<p>Of all the valuable skills I learned in my English major\u2014communication, writing, etc\u2014the most important to me is the art of revision. Many of my students have been this way\u2014I was certainly the same in college\u2014but I suppose I just didn\u2019t \u201cbelieve\u201d in revision. I thought of it as fate whenever I wrote something and the value of revision never occurred to me. What it\u2019s shown me is that attention to detail is something you can hone and that extra words or confusing language are unnecessary.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong>What&#8217;s a typical day like for you?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The great benefit of <a href=\"https:\/\/metonymymedia.com\/\">working at Metonymy<\/a> is that my days never look the same. I\u2019m a pretty movement- and change-oriented person and I need a lot of control of my schedule because I\u2019m typically involved in two external projects at any given time on top of work, on top of my own creative stuff and self-care.<\/p>\n<p>Some days I go into the office at 9:30 and work until about 2 pm and then I\u2019ll go to the gym or hang out with my dog, and finish up the rest of my writing at my leisure. Some days I work from a local coffee shop. Some days I don\u2019t work at all and wake up at 3 am and finish my writing then.<\/p>\n<p>As long as I can do good work and meet all my deadlines, my schedule gets to stay nice and loose.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong>What&#8217;s it like to own a bookstore?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Read this great interview with Elysia in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/thenorthmeridianreview.org\/blog\/interview-with-poet-and-business-owner-elysia-smith\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The North Meridian Review<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong>Do you have any advice for English majors who are trying to figure out what comes next in their lives?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first thing I\u2019ll say is seriously seriously seriously <strong>don\u2019t ever pay for a Masters degree<\/strong>. Find a program that pays you to get an MFA via a stipend, etc. That\u2019s one thing I truly regret is taking out loans to help finance my MFA despite having a stipend. Boston was an incredibly expensive place to live.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, the biggest thing is to <strong>get involved<\/strong>. Writers need community because they need connectivity. You want readers, you want peers who spark you, and you want the mobility to meet other writers, publishers, and organizers. Even if you just take time to go to a few readings here and there what you\u2019ll begin to realize is that the writing community is strangely small. It\u2019s homey. Come hang.<\/p>\n<p>Also, <strong>publish your stuff!<\/strong> Submit as often as you can. I have a rule that whenever I write a new poem I just submit it immediately to help keep things circulating. If you don\u2019t know where to start looking for homes for your work, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/entropymag.org\/category\/where-to-submit\/\">Entropy Mag\u2019s lists<\/a>. They\u2019re awesome. Also follow writers on Twitter, Facebook, etc. Some of my favorite follows have been <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joannasaid?lang=en\">Joanna C.
