As Development Director for the literary nonprofit, the Arkansas International, I was responsible for marketing and sales initiatives. This included writing and distributing press releases, developing social media strategies, managing advertisements in national publications (Poets & Writers, Association of Writers & Writing Programs, etc.), and developing merchandise for sale. Here are a few examples of these projects.
