Marianita Montgomery

Marianita Montgomery, an English major, interned for Ave Maria Press at Notre Dame University. Through the course of this internship, she had the opportunity to witness every part of the publishing process, from picking up a manuscript, to thanking endorsers before publishing. Her job specifically focuses on editing second and third drafts of manuscripts, looking for grammar, spelling, and formatting errors.

She appreciates the opportunity she has had to learn the publishing process in all its aspects. The job was also remote, which she sees as a blessing because she was able to continue her work while studying at Franciscan. She also spoke about working with students from other schools, stating that it has been good to interact with peers, and share their perspectives on the experience.
