Rose Heredia hosted our Instagram on November 13th for our weekly #SalaSundays series. Below are a few questions that we asked Rose.
Latinx in Pub (LxP): What do you do?
Rose Heredia (RH): I'm currently an Editorial Fellow with Latinx in Publishing, non-related to publishing, I currently work in HR for a non-profit law firm.
LxP: How did you get started?
RH: I became a fellow in June of 2022 but began my journey as a literary agent intern in 1999.
LxP: What do you wish you knew before getting into the industry?
RH: I wish there would have been more accessible resources and opportunities to network with folks more than now. Social media wasn't a huge thing in the late nineties!
LxP: What book are you currently working on or reading?
RH: I'm reading Fruit of the Drunken Tree by Ingrid Rojas Contreras.
