Sean P.'s Story
As briefly as possible, after graduating from Xaverian, I went to Iona to study journalism, but changed majors to Advertising. Not finding work in the Ad industry after graduation, I entered Publishing, where I've been for 30 years.
I have worked all over the industry as a contracts professional. I have been a rights director and director of electronic publishing in the early days of ebooks (1998!); have run my own rights agency; had several science fiction stories published; taught at City College part-time; lecture on contracts and copyrights all over the country; and help my wife raise our children.

The best two parts of my career were (a) meeting my wife at work, and working side-by-side with her at four different publishing houses, and (b) my wife arranging for me to work for the science fiction publisher where she was working some years back. That connection helped establish me in my favorite field. I got to know most of the science fiction writers whom my friends and I were reading back in school, and become friends with many of them. It also led to my getting professionally published in an award-winning anthology. It was a dream come true.
