We’re thrilled to announce that Brenda Knight, Publisher at Mango Publishing, will be joining our Pitching and Querying workshop!

Brenda is a powerhouse in the publishing world, with a passion for discovering and nurturing new talent. She’s currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area, but her roots trace back to Gallipolis, Ohio. Did you know that before diving into publishing, Brenda developed a deep love for gardening while working at her aunt’s nursery?

Brenda’s recent favorite read is The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown. And here’s a fun fact: Brenda is also a poet! She even opened for the legendary Lawrence Ferlinghetti during his European tour.

We are beyond excited to have Brenda share her insights with us. This is a golden opportunity for anyone looking to pitch their work to a top publisher.
