Jordan Koluch joined Publishing Solutions Group as a summer intern in 2011. Upon completion of the Summer 2011 Internship Program here at PSG, Jordan was hired as a part-time Sales and Marketing Assistant. A rising junior in Emerson College’s renowned writing program, Jordan joins the team looking to get a handle on how the publishing industry works from as many different perspectives as possible. Whatever role she takes, she wants to “complete projects of a quality I can be proud of.”
As an intern, Jordan looked to understand the workings of the substantive editing process. Beyond editing skills, she was seeking an understanding of the personal side of the publishing industry. One of her goals is to continue to understand how the client relates to the publisher, and how publishing team members work with one another.
Although she admits to having an interest in the design process and project management, Jordan focused on writing marketing content and quickly became an important part of the marketing efforts here at PSG. Her ultimate goal is to “do developmental editing for literary fiction or nonfiction at a large house in New York.” Despite the fact that she’s new to the industry, she’s “still looking for her niche and open to changing my mind about what I want to be doing.”
Jordan likes coming in ahead of the due date. As a self-described “punctual” person, she enjoys “being given a task and a due date and being left to come up with the how on my own,” as it “allows me to be creative and use my problem-solving skills.” She’s also organized. “I have an odd affinity for organizing,” she explains. “Specifically jobs that allow me to alphabetize or color-code. I find it calming.” Jordan’s motto: “Do it right. Do it once.”
Some of Jordan’s favorite reads include the short stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Food Network Magazine, and Atlas Shrugged. Ayn Rand is one of her favorite authors. While that “usually causes people to judge me,” you shouldn’t worry: she “really [is] very nice.”
