I help lead Michigan Publishing Services' books program by working with internal teams and external vendors to establish best practices, as well as onboarding new publishing partners. Additionally, I manage the book production for Michigan Publishing's distributed partners, including Amherst College Press, Lever Press, the University of Westminster Press, and Aberdeen University Press. I shepherd scholarly book projects from manuscript submission through copyediting, typesetting, and cover design, all the way to digital/print publication and distribution. My day-to-day work involves communicating frequently with editors, authors, and vendors; reviewing files for quality control; maintaining accurate metadata; and ensuring deadlines are met.
