[Reading-hall-of-fame] retirement of Naomi Silverman, Routledge

[Allan Luke]

Dear Colleagues


This next week Naomi Silverman will retire from her position as Commissioning Editor for Routledge.  Naomi has worked with many of us during her time at St. Martins Press. She built the language and literacy list at Lawrence Erlbaum, before moving with Erlbaum staff as it was purchased by Routledge several years ago.


As you know - finding editors who know the field, actually read and offer substantive comment and engagement with our manuscripts, and who see the work through to press is increasingly rare in the corporate world of publishing.


Through this - Naomi has had a powerful effect on the field, bringing colleagues together on projects, taking risks and breaking new editorial ground, and linking language/literacy research with work in TESOL, applied linguistics, curriculum studies and other areas. I - for one - want to thank her for her shaping influence on the field.


No need to respond to me or this list - but If you'd like to drop her a line - her work email is still online for the next few weeks -

best to all,


Allan
