NOTE:
This might overwhelm, so don't worry. This is just a list of ongoing
things we will think about as you make your way through the next two (or
three?) years.
Dear ---,
Thank you for meeting with me on Zoom!
So I wanted to make a list of things for us to think about on your way to your degree:
I
don't know if you could spread out your semesters, based on
scholarships and such, but that might be a plan? The more time we can
plan before you start grad school in Oregan or Washington (best plan)
the better.
Aside from classes, I will begin with looking for:
Books for book reviews
Intern or part time editing positions
WTE (Washburn Transformational Experience) $1000 grant for either overseas travel or attending AWP--either way with a mentor
AWP would be the best acclimation for being an editor, as you would be able to speak with and attend panels made of editors
Links to websites to get a feel for the publishing world, like this one: https://www.spdbooks.org/
Plan
for grad school: you will want to begin at least a year out by taking
the GRE the summer before the year you graduate. The GRE is the
standardized test many schools ask for.

I
really don't want to overwhelm you. We have plenty of time to plan and
get you set up for success. You already are on your way with your
decision!
Plus, congratulations on having your essay nominated!
Speaking of, to start keeping track of everything in a CV/resume. I recommend using the CV form: school first.
I think this looks good. As always, please feel free to send questions my way.
Thank you!
All Best,
