Where Are They Now? Featuring: Meg Lambert

We’re interviewing alumni who worked on The York Review in the past to see how they’re doing after graduation. Today’s interview is with Meg Lambert, an alumna of York College and the head editor for The York Review in 2011.

Meg Lambert, Class of 2011

When did you attend York College and what was your major?

I was at York fall 2007-spring 2011 and I was a professional writing major.

When were you published in The York Review? Why did you submit?

I was published my senior year because I’d been writing creatively for enjoyment but never for a public audience, so I finally got up my courage to share my work since I had such a great support system at the time.

What did you think you would be doing at this time when you were still in college?

I had originally gone to York thinking I would be an editor with my professional writing degree, but I fell in love with the teaching & tutoring class, and my time working at the Learning Resource Center and encouragement from professors led me to apply to grad school and get my master’s degree in Rhetoric & Composition.

What have you been doing since you graduated?

I’m an instructor for the Department of Writing & Rhetoric at the University of Central Florida where I teach first-year composition classes and work with Stylus, which is our journal that publishes first-year student writing.
