I\u2019m a young adult author, but I also work on campus as the administrative coordinator for the Department of Educational Leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #c91616\"><b>What does a typical week in your position look like?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-ogsb=\"white\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\">On the author side \u2013 a lot of writing. A lot of emails. I\u2019m working on the first draft of my next book, but at the same time, my debut just came out in mid-September. When I\u2019m writing, I\u2019m focused on a new book, but my inbox primarily emails with my publishing team, booksellers, teachers, and readers about <i>A Dark and Starless Forest<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-ogsb=\"white\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\">On the day job side \u2013 Also a lot of emails! I provide administrative support for the faculty in Educational Leadership. That covers a wide range of tasks \u2013 covering the office, ordering supplies, putting through reimbursements, submitting various approvals, etc. Basically, my job is to make sure our faculty can focus more on their work than on a lot of bureaucratic paperwork.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #c91616\"><b>What are the most valuable skills you learned in your major?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-ogsb=\"white\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\">I always find this question hard to answer, because I feel like I should be able to point to specific classes or assignments when the skills I learned came from the whole of the experience. There\u2019s the usual, like learning to think and read more critically, or how to communicate more effectively. Those are absolutely important, but the big one for me was learning how to value what I have to offer, and how to represent myself better. Maybe it\u2019s the Midwestern in me, but I tend to downplay my own skills. I had many professors while in the English department who made me learn how to own my skills instead of hiding them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-ogsb=\"white\"><span style=\"color: #c91616\"><b>What is your advice to other Humanities students?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-ogsb=\"white\"><strong>Don\u2019t let people tell you that your major isn\u2019t worthwhile. Trust me, I\u2019ve gotten loads of strange comments or polite smiles when I said I majored in creative writing. There\u2019s a certain attitude that a humanities degree is less important than something in STEM or business, but they\u2019re all worthwhile and all teach different skills. Don\u2019t limit yourself to thinking that all you\u2019ve learned is how to analyze literature or write an essay. There\u2019s a lot more in you than that.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #c91616\"><b>How did\/do your language studies influence or contribute to your current occupation?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-ogsb=\"white\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\">On the office job side \u2013 you might be surprised how much an office can value skills like writing or editing. I\u2019ve gotten positions on the strength of my writing and communication before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-ogsb=\"white\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\">They obviously contributed quite a bit to the author&#8217;s side of things, but not just in terms of writing. I also learned how to be a better literary citizen, which has served me so well. The best advice I ever got was \u201cbe interested in other people\u201d \u2013 instead of networking by only talking about yourself, be interested in what your peers and colleagues are doing. You\u2019ll be much happier for it, lead a richer life, and make more genuine connections.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #c91616\"><b>How does it contribute to your life outside of work as well?<\/b><\/span><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p data-ogsb=\"white\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\">The sappiest answer I have is that I met some of my best friends in the English department, who are still my best friends to this day. A slightly more practical answer would come back to the idea of valuing my own skills. That\u2019s a benefit professionally, but also just as a human being trying to survive in this world. It\u2019s hard not to feel helpless when the world is the way it is now. It helps to recognize what you are capable of doing, even on the smallest scale.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-ogsb=\"white\"><span style=\"color: #c91616\"><b>What advice would you give a student who is looking to become a published writer?<\/b><\/span><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Learn everything you can about how publishing works, not just the writing-a-book part. Understand the roles of agents and editors and publishers, and how they work with writers. Be willing to ask questions, even if you\u2019re worried it makes you look ignorant about the industry. Don\u2019t jump at the first offer of representation or first offer to buy your book just because it\u2019s exciting. Make sure it\u2019s right for you! Even if you have the best agent in the world, you ultimately have to be your own best advocate.<\/p>\n<p>The people you work with can only do so much if you aren\u2019t willing to ask questions or be open about your concerns \u2013 and dreams! I am almost certainly never going to get to write a YA book in the world of <i>Jupiter Ascending<\/i>\u00a0but I still let my agent know that if the opportunity ever came up, I\u2019d want to try for it.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also need to find your way of dealing with rejection because it\u2019s inevitable. Being a writer means being rejected, sometimes over and over. It\u2019s not easy and everyone deals with it differently.\u00a0 I try to view my rejections, not as proof that I\u2019m not good enough, but as proof that I\u2019m still putting myself out there. Not everyone manages to even get that far, so if you do, be proud of yourself.<\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"TextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\">For more information about the<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\"> Department of English, visit <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2 SCXW175184709 BCX0\">our<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsu.edu\/academics\/collegesanddepartments\/english\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">website<\/span><\/span><\/a><span class=\"TextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\">, contact\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsu.edu\/academics\/collegesanddepartments\/english\/connect-with-us\/faculty-staff\">office<\/a><\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\">\u00a0or<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\">\u00a0follow us on<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bsuenglishdepartment\/\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">Facebook<\/span><\/span><\/a><span class=\"TextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\">,\u00a0<\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bsuenglish\/\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">Instagram<\/span><\/span><\/a><span class=\"TextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\">, and <\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bsuenglish\/\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sarah Hollowell graduated from Ball State with a B.A. in English (with a Creative Writing concentration).
