Hi, I'm Nia! I'm a book enthusiast and former educator, having completed postgraduate studies in literature and research. I am tech savvy, always up for learning new things, and I have decided to pursue my passion for books by changing my career trajectory to the publishing industry. I am an excellent communicator, resourceful and resilient.The Denver Publishing Institute has deepened my love of editing, and I found that I also have an affinity for publicity and marketing of books. DPI was a wonderful experience, and I am looking forward to using my knowledge and skills to assist in creating books which readers will love for years to come.
