Hello again readers! The summer is winding down and so, in turn, is my internship with Beaufort Books and Spencer Hill Press. My last day will be bittersweet, as I leave behind the excitement of the summer for the hustle bustle of the school year. Nevertheless, I have come to really appreciate change while living in …Read More.

Whenever I tell others that I’m an English major, I always get questions about either my favorite book or what genre I like to read most. I have a hard time answering these questions because, during the school year, my reading consists primarily of class assignments, everything from James Joyce to literary theory. I spend …Read More.

Hello — another intern here! A bit about me: I am headed into my final year at a liberal arts college in New Hampshire, where I am studying both English and Elementary Education. Ever since I was young, I always wanted to be either a teacher or a book editor/publisher due to my love of …Read More.

It is my last week at Beaufort and Spencer Hill, and naturally, I’m reflecting on the last four months I’ve spent here.

Greetings everyone! I woke up late the other day, and as I looked through my window, I was mesmerized by the bright orange and red leaves of the big sugar maple tree outside my bedroom. As fall swept through the city, I observed this tree every day, amazed by its reluctance to change, being one …Read More.

Greetings everyone and I hope the changing of seasons has treated you well. Today, I would like to talk about a recent event that I partook in at Beaufort Books called Saturnalia. This Roman holiday, devoted to Saturn, when celebrated in ancient times, from December 17th-23rd, gave slaves the chance to become the masters for …Read More.
