English majors are often the perfect fit. SOU alumni Reilly Nycum and Ciera Leanne Cox both work at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackstonepublishing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blackstone Publishing<\/a> and are great examples of the diversity in this industry. Blackstone Publishing is a company founded in Ashland, Oregon and has expanded to Portland and New York.<\/p>\n<p>Ciera Leanne Cox graduated from SOU in 2019 with her <a href=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/english\/programs\/english-ba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BA in English<\/a> and now works as a manuscript editor at Blackstone publishing. As a manuscript editor, Ciera receives manuscripts from the developmental editor and reads through them, editing format, grammar, spelling, and checking for consistency in the plot and characters. After editing a manuscript, she works closely with the author to implement her suggestions. Another part of her job is proofreading \u2013 after the manuscript has been edited and is almost ready for press, checking for any last typos and design errors. In this process, Ciera usually works with the editor who worked on the original manuscript and if needed, they contact the book designer or compositor to fix design issues. Compositors put the text and pictures together for a book, magazine, and other printed projects.<\/p>\n<p>During her undergraduate career at SOU, Cox worked as a PEAK assistant for the Oregon Writing Project her senior year, helping Dr. Brook Colley of the <a href=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/native-american-studies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Native American Studies Program<\/a> copyedited a book she had written. Ciera recalls her copyediting experience, &#8220;Copyediting parts of that book was what piqued my interest in being an editor, and it was the most standout item on my resume, according to my bosses.&#8221; The English Program constantly has opportunities like this and professors love connecting their students with internships in the publishing industry and beyond!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kvrnzy2k-cbd5eabf46b39d2dc73c1496e55e8b3e\">\n.avia-image-container.av-kvrnzy2k-cbd5eabf46b39d2dc73c1496e55e8b3e img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-kvrnzy2k-cbd5eabf46b39d2dc73c1496e55e8b3e .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-kvrnzy2k-cbd5eabf46b39d2dc73c1496e55e8b3e av-styling-no-styling avia-align-  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-20'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Ciera-Leanne-Cox-with-Guinea-Pig-English-Program-Stories-SOU.webp 1200w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Ciera-Leanne-Cox-with-Guinea-Pig-English-Program-Stories-SOU-300x169.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Ciera-Leanne-Cox-with-Guinea-Pig-English-Program-Stories-SOU-1030x579.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Ciera-Leanne-Cox-with-Guinea-Pig-English-Program-Stories-SOU-768x432.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Ciera-Leanne-Cox-with-Guinea-Pig-English-Program-Stories-SOU-705x397.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Ciera-Leanne-Cox-with-Guinea-Pig-English-Program-Stories-SOU.jpg\" height=\"675\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Ciera-Leanne-Cox-with-Guinea-Pig-English-Program-Stories-SOU.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Ciera-Leanne-Cox-with-Guinea-Pig-English-Program-Stories-SOU-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Ciera-Leanne-Cox-with-Guinea-Pig-English-Program-Stories-SOU-1030x579.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Ciera-Leanne-Cox-with-Guinea-Pig-English-Program-Stories-SOU-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Ciera-Leanne-Cox-with-Guinea-Pig-English-Program-Stories-SOU-705x397.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"wp-image-79872 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-79872 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3j8wz63-602c4be1425f0ab8465db6b5f4cad9df\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-3j8wz63-602c4be1425f0ab8465db6b5f4cad9df .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:12px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-3j8wz63-602c4be1425f0ab8465db6b5f4cad9df '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Pictured Above: Mansuscript editor Ciera, with her guinea pig.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-3w1frl7-641a96b9b2b6989127c464498be04db5 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Ciera finds her English major being used every day and loves helping authors achieve their dreams. Her advice to her freshman-year self is to &#8220;follow her instincts a bit more. I changed majors a couple of times before landing on English, simply because I believed nobody would take an English major seriously in the job market. I was so wrong and feel very lucky to have finally been encouraged by my family to follow my passion. The English department felt like home to me immediately and I&#8217;m so glad I made the switch.&#8221; Ciera&#8217;s experience proves that pursuing an English major can lead to an array of career opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Reilly Nycum is an Audio Proofing Specialist with Blackstone. Audio proofing entails that she reads the manuscript while listening to the audiobook to check for discrepancies: pronunciation errors, misreads, missing lines, noises and other things that need correcting. She also makes word lists for narrators to use while recording upcoming audiobooks; the word lists serve as pronunciation guides to help ease the recording process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-sffpcb-0bb928daa169676f809960e55a2c6a45\">\n.avia-image-container.av-sffpcb-0bb928daa169676f809960e55a2c6a45 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-sffpcb-0bb928daa169676f809960e55a2c6a45 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-sffpcb-0bb928daa169676f809960e55a2c6a45 av-styling-no-styling avia-align-  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-20'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Reilly-Nycum-Manuscript-Editing-and-Audio-Proofing-English-Program-Strories-SOU.webp 1200w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Reilly-Nycum-Manuscript-Editing-and-Audio-Proofing-English-Program-Strories-SOU-300x169.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Reilly-Nycum-Manuscript-Editing-and-Audio-Proofing-English-Program-Strories-SOU-1030x579.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Reilly-Nycum-Manuscript-Editing-and-Audio-Proofing-English-Program-Strories-SOU-768x432.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Reilly-Nycum-Manuscript-Editing-and-Audio-Proofing-English-Program-Strories-SOU-705x397.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Reilly-Nycum-Manuscript-Editing-and-Audio-Proofing-English-Program-Strories-SOU.jpg\" height=\"675\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Reilly-Nycum-Manuscript-Editing-and-Audio-Proofing-English-Program-Strories-SOU.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Reilly-Nycum-Manuscript-Editing-and-Audio-Proofing-English-Program-Strories-SOU-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Reilly-Nycum-Manuscript-Editing-and-Audio-Proofing-English-Program-Strories-SOU-1030x579.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Reilly-Nycum-Manuscript-Editing-and-Audio-Proofing-English-Program-Strories-SOU-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/11\/Reilly-Nycum-Manuscript-Editing-and-Audio-Proofing-English-Program-Strories-SOU-705x397.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"wp-image-79854 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-79854 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Reilly Nycum Manuscript Editing and Audio Proofing English Program Strories SOU\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kvroyemn-9be427b7ecab565dc49fcc50807ec8ab\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-kvroyemn-9be427b7ecab565dc49fcc50807ec8ab .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:12px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kvroyemn-9be427b7ecab565dc49fcc50807ec8ab '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Pictured Above: Audio Proofing Specialist Reilly Nycum.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-2wr7ggb-bf342a082247841224b60e7302a7c6f8 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Reilly graduated from SOU with a <a href=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/english\/programs\/english-ba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BA in English<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/history\/programs\/history-ba-bs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">History<\/a> in 2019. After graduation, Reilly pursued a three-month copywriting internship with Harry &amp; David. She explains, &#8220;Copywriting and proofing are two very different jobs, so many of the skills don&#8217;t overlap, but it did prepare me to work in a professional environment.&#8221; Even though the internship did not give her specific skills for proofing audiobooks, she was still able to take the professional experience and apply it to her current job at Blackstone. Reilly advises that internships are always helpful to explore potential career paths, but it is important to keep in mind the skills you need for your prospective career.<\/p>\n<p>She has proofed around 200 audiobooks now, and loves being a part of this process. Reilly explains, &#8220;I believe proofing makes a huge difference in how much someone enjoys listening to audiobooks and whether or not they\u2019ll continue buying them in the future. It can ruin someone&#8217;s listening experience if a book is riddled with pronunciation errors, strange pauses, and annoying background noises. It&#8217;s important to have a good narrator and compelling writing, but there&#8217;s so much more that goes into making audiobooks than most people realize.&#8221; Every stage in publishing has a vital role in making the book sellable. Audiobooks are very important to people with disabilities and others who choose the listening experience. Reilly&#8217;s role is to make sure that audiobook listeners have an immersive experience just like readers do.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4j2oay3-67fb47df3d243e189e63ee5bf73af930\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-4j2oay3-67fb47df3d243e189e63ee5bf73af930 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:26px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-4j2oay3-67fb47df3d243e189e63ee5bf73af930 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock rising-quote av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote>\n<p class=\"dig-4\" style=\"text-align: left\"><em><span class=\"amaze-ultra madrone\">&#8220;I learned valuable skills<\/span> being an English major that I think most employers look for in applicants&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"pop-8\" style=\"font-size: 0.6em;text-align: right\">\u2014 Reilly Nycum<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-1wttdvv-b458a14cc9db07e3d3f83a87066e5b6b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Reilly and Ciera both said that during their time at SOU, the class ENG 556 &#8220;History of Publishing&#8221; with Dr. Ed Battistella stands out the most for them. They got to tour the Blackstone facility and learn foundations of the publishing industry. Recalling Battistella&#8217;s class, Reilly said, &#8220;Prior to this, I hadn&#8217;t known about Blackstone and visiting helped me realize that there were job opportunities for English majors outside of teaching. I learned valuable skills being an English major that I think most employers look for in applicants. Being able to write, edit, research, work under a deadline, and think critically are all skills I foresee using in pretty much any career I pursue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ciera Leanne Cox&#8217;s all-time favorite book that she edited is Hand to Hold in Deep Water by Shawn Nocher.
