Say hello to Natalie, our Marketing Intern here at Evening Post Books!

She earned her degree in communication with a minor in creative writing in 2023 and now supports our Marketing Manager, Sarah, with everything from campaign strategy and media outreach to social media content creation.

Her favorite part of the job? Collaborating with authors to help bring their stories to life.

When she’s not crafting press pitches or editing in Canva, you’ll find her posted up in her trusty Tommy Bahama chair on Sullivan’s Island, working through her ever-growing TBR pile.

What are we looking for in a manuscript?

Something honest. Something intentional. A story shaped by experience, not just plot points.

We care about the work and the writer: How it sounds, what it stirs, where it comes from. Not perfect, but purposeful.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to read your work. Submissions are open August 1–31.

Whether she’s reviewing edits or packaging up orders with care, Elise is at the heart of both the editorial and shipping operations at EPB.

As our Assistant Editor, Elise brings a sharp literary eye and a deep love for storytelling to every project she touches. A graduate of the University of Arkansas and the College of Charleston’s MFA program, she’s also a published fiction writer with a background in teaching, creative writing, and literary journals.

Currently reading: “The Antidote” by Karen Russell. A sweeping Dust Bowl–era epic set in Uz, Nebraska, that opens on Black Sunday (April 14, 1935). Blending historical fiction, magical realism, and climate commentary, it explores memory, trauma, identity, and the legacy of settler colonialism.

On any given day at EPB, Jacob can typically be found flipping between manuscripts and marketing plans — or editing a sentence for the fifth time, just to make it sing.

As our Managing Editor, Jacob brings years of editorial experience (and a red pen always within reach) to guide both our business operations and content strategy. A Wofford grad with roots in food journalism, he's passionate about partnering with authors to develop meaningful, hyperlocal stories.

Currently reading: "Summer Crossing" by Truman Capote. A long-lost debut that’s equal parts moody, rebellious, and beautifully written.

Stay tuned as we introduce more of the team behind the scenes at EPB!
