My current favorite perk of working in #publishing: free #books.

Here are the ones I brought home from the first two days I went to Hachette’s office 👀

Cool personal announcement: I’m now working with Hachette Book Group, 3rd largest publisher in the world! 📚😍

I’m helping with their email #marketing on their executive marketing strategy team for the next 1.5 months. Got many book lists to curate!

This is a dream come true in many ways, reading is my longest-standing and most consistent hobby. I don’t know who I would be if I wasn’t constantly surrounded by books - definitely not the Mariya before you today.

As a reader, as a writer - getting to see publishing from the inside and help promote products that I fundamentally believe do good in the world is a relief and a blessing. I’m so honored and lucky.

(Don’t worry, my agency is not going anywhere and we are still very much working with other clients!)
