Notes from the Newbie

In November, I transitioned into the position of managing editor of FundRaising Success after serving as managing editor of sister publications Book Business and Publishing Executive. As with any change, professional or otherwise, it has stirred a mix of emotions — the excitement of tackling the new, the sadness of leaving behind the old, the difficulty of approaching various challenges along the way. One of the biggest of those has been learning this new (to me) world of nonprofit fundraising, especially after being immersed in other industries for many years.
