Willy Rowberry
@willyrowberry
Publishing operations and editorial manager who keeps complex workflows, budgets, and deadlines moving.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m an operations and editorial leader with 5+ years of experience managing cross-department workflows in publishing environments. I coordinate production timelines, editorial schedules, and distribution logistics so projects stay on track from start to finish.
In my current leadership work, I manage operational workflows across editorial, production, and finance teams—owning budgeting, invoicing, payments, expense tracking, and author royalties. I’m the proactive point of contact between internal teams and external distribution partners to ensure fulfillment logistics and operational needs stay aligned during organizational expansion.
I also bring hands-on editorial capabilities, having supported editorial, operations, and administrative publishing workflows and edited books through developmental editing, line editing, and proofreading. As a co-founder and Head of Operations, I apply an ethical standard to how I work with clients, vendors, and partners, while staying calm and organized when multiple moving projects demand close attention to detail.
