The Press’s most recent hire is Alexandra Hoff, who began her work as senior editor at the beginning of this month. She holds a bachelor’s in English/professional writing and African American studies from Purdue University and has previously worked with Purdue University Press and the West Lafayette History and Research Center in West Lafayette, Indiana. At UNM Press, Hoff provides a wide range of editorial support critical to the book-production process.

“Next year the Press celebrates our ninetieth anniversary. Bryce, Adelia and Alexandra are most welcome additions to our marketing and production efforts,” UNM Press director Stephen Hull said. “Each of them brings long experience, high energy and sound publishing judgement to the enterprise and helps position the Press as we move forward in our next ninety years as New Mexico’s premier publisher.”

Emley, Humme and Hoff look forward to working with authors and community partners to further the work of UNM Press, which publishes about sixty titles a year.
