Hi Folks,
I’m happy to be able to share the news that Heather M. Falconer has accepted our offer to become Associate Publisher for Design and Production. (And in case you’re keeping track, Heather joins Karen Peirce, who also serves in that role.) Heather emerged from a competitive group of applicants and brings, among many other admirable qualities, more than eight years of experience in the publishing industry in the US and the UK. Her initial focus will be on manuscript preparation, an area in which she has a great deal of expertise. Over the next few months, Heather will transition out of her role as editor of the Perspectives on Writing book series, where she has worked for several years with Rich Rice and J. Michael Rifenburg. We’ll be launching a search for a new editor for that series, which is our oldest and largest series. I hope some of you might consider applying.
Please join me in welcoming Heather to her new role with the Clearinghouse.
All the best,
Mike
