Currently based in Brooklyn, Rebecca Verrill is a recent graduate of the 4+1 Publishing and Marketing program at Emerson College, receiving both her BA and MA degrees in 4.5 years. She has previously worked as the Marketing & Publicity Intern for Wednesday Books & Saturday Books at Macmillan Publishers, and has additional experience at Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins Publishers, Candlewick Press, W. W. Norton & Company, Inc. and Lived Places Publishing.

Alongside her ever-growing collection of colorful winter scarves, Rebecca’s defining traits include her deep love of playlist-making, proper data collection, and the book club alumni network she runs (not in that order.) She is a very passionate advocate for proper representation in the marketing and publishing industries and can often be found walking briskly around the city, muttering about the local tourists.
