Michelle Komie on Acquisitions

Michelle Komie is publisher for art and architectural and urban history at Princeton University Press, where since 2014 she has been the person behind numerous important, and beautiful, books. Previously, she spent over a decade in acquisitions at Yale University Press. I asked Michelle about what she looks for in a project, how she communicates with authors, and the entire process of bringing a book to publication. I think first-time authors in particular will find her answers both informative and encouraging.
