Can I add my support to your appreciation of Naomi. For all the reasons you have provided, especially the rather unique combination of academic acumen with fine editorial skills.

Cheers,

Stuart

It becomes increasingly clear that Naomi has not only provided a great individual service to many of us individually by bringing our research and theoretical work to prestigeful, highly professional publication but she has been a major catalyst in the promotion of  research in our field.

Yetta and I owe her  so much for what she has done for our publication. I will be very pleased to place her name in nomination for membership in the Reading Hall of Fame. And we would make every effort to be present at an event honoring her. New York would
certainly be convenient for her family , friends and colleagues to be present.

I suggest that LRA honour her with some award at our conference this year.

Couldn't agree more in your assessment of Naomi's unique contributions to the field. Have worked with her on multiple projects since the mid 1980s.  Have let her know how much I value her work.  Join Allan in suggesting that we all go out of our way to honor her.

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
