Janice Lombardo

Janice's career in the publishing industry began 25 years ago when she was a publicist for a boutique literary PR firm. Since then, she’s worked her way up the masthead at such publications as Natural Health, Men’s Fitness, Whole Living, and Prevention, to name a few, and today is the director of editorial operations at Inc. magazine. When she’s not pounding the internet in search of a literary agent to represent her, you can find her at home in Brooklyn with her blind Bijon and deaf Shih Tzu working on her next book (and waiting for her kids to respond to her text messages).
