Emma Gibson

Emma Gibson graduated with an MA in English in 2007, and now works for Macmillan publishers.

I graduated from the University of Dundee in 2007 with a degree in English. I went on to do a law conversion course but quickly realised that I missed the atmosphere of university, the opportunity to engage in literary debate and, much to my surprise, I even missed writing essays!

So, I moved to London where I now work as a Senior Editorial Assistant at Macmillan Publishers. I am also the co-editor of Nutshell, an independent literary magazine set up and run by myself and four others. It's great to be able to employ the skills and knowledge I gained whilst studying for my degree, and to once again spend my days working with people who are passionate about literature.

Studying English at Dundee enabled me to develop my interest in literature and I am now able to further this in my daily work. I am also starting a Masters course in literature.
