Mary Williams Oregon

Mary Williams has had a book in her hand since she could read. Growing up, she loved reading adventure stories, young adult novels, and literary fiction. After earning her bachelor’s at Oregon State University (go beavs!) in English with a minor in writing, she chose to work towards her master’s in Book Publishing at Portland State University. For two years she worked at Ooligan Press as the editorial assistant and publisher’s assistant. If you ever need to find her, she is probably trying a new pizza parlor or picking up another plant at the nursery.
