The experience of interesting the media in covering books, which closely parallels the process of selling books, informs much of Hugh’s approach to publishing. Printing and publishing are in Hugh’s blood. At age 17, Hugh started a printing and graphic design business in New York City. After graduating from Harvard College, he spent six years in the entertainment industry, producing made-for-TV movies and learning how books become films. Hugh earned his MBA at Harvard and went on to serve in executive roles at Silicon Valley startups, Microsoft, and IBM—followed by more than a decade as a freelance content writer in the technology industry. Hugh’s writing has appeared in The Daily Beast and HuffPost, in addition to his cybersecurity blog, The Journal of Cyber Policy.
