A guest post from Wake Forest’s Library Partners Press

Library Partners Press, the digital publishing imprint of Wake Forest University that specializes in niche, nonfiction (including creative nonfiction) titles, announces its new leadership and look. Celeste Holcomb is now the director of digital publishing (and Library Partners Press) at Wake Forest University, within the Office of the Provost. Celeste Holcomb will take over from the retiring William Kane, and will continue to connect authors – both aspiring and established – to the expertise and resources of WFU. Building on these changes, Library Partners Press sports a new website, with a new logo and brand identity, where LPP’s publishing services and publications are on offer: www.librarypartnerspress.com.

Celeste is highly qualified for this role, with 5 years of previous experience at WFU, a background in managing university services and a long history immersed in art and design. Since Celeste joined the team, LPP has published more than a dozen books, with a lively release schedule planned for the coming year. She is eager to fulfill this new role at LPP, bringing creativity and community-oriented thinking to this valuable and beloved service.

With the unique and challenging environment of the last few years, these updates will enable LPP to better respond to the publishing needs of an increasingly complex writing community. LPP offers both traditional and non-traditional publishing services, with a newly refined focus: to grow the community of knowledge and creativity within Wake Forest and beyond, and to ensure ubiquitous access to digital creations through libraries and individual collections.
