Meet Jeffrey Seglin

Associate Professor Jeff Seglin's career to date has encompassed a variety of roles in the publishing industry, including book editor at Harcourt Brace, book author, editor, and writer at Inc. magazine, and columnist at Fortune magazine. He is fascinated by the process of "seeing an idea move from concept to execution to the final printed work." Seglin is drawn to all facets of publishing, but is especially attracted to the fast pace of the magazine world, in which writers are able to more quickly see the results of their work in print.
