LinLi Wan to join Pantera Press

Pantera Press is thrilled to announce that LinLi Wan will join our team in the newly created position of Trainee Editor, starting 25 July 2022.

‘As an avid reader of Pantera Press’s list, joining their team is an absolute dream come true,’ Wan said. ‘Pantera Press’s mission to publish stories and storytellers that spark change very much align with my own values, and I couldn’t be more excited for the opportunity to learn from them and grow with them.’

Editorial Director Kate Cuthbert said, ‘we are so thrilled that LinLi is joining Pantera Press. Her enthusiasm for the industry, the scope of her experience, and her wide-range of interests make her a welcome and exciting addition to our editorial team.’
