Amy Sherman is stepping into the role of acquisitions editor at the University of Pittsburgh Press, after 10 years at Pitt Press.
She started as an editorial assistant in acquisitions before advancing to her most recent role as managing editor in 2018. As managing editor, she has worked closely with authors on a range of books across our lists.
Sherman’s acquiring efforts will expand the Press’s longstanding environmental history list. She also will focus on food studies and books of regional interest.
“Amy will play a key role in expanding, widening, and deepening our offerings in these important subject areas,” Pitt Press Director Peter Kracht said, This marks an influential moment in our development as a press.”
