The irreplaceable Robin Dellabough, our projects director for the past 12 years, will retire from PM on January 31. (She will continue her sought-after freelance work as book editor, consultant, and writer.) Robin first joined us to oversee and develop the Buzz Books program, and has helped bring to life and improve a broad range of PM initiatives ever since (including  our Editors Buzz Panels, Bookateria, Discuss, Authors Lunch, The Trial, Publishers Lunchcast, Publishers Launch, and many others). We are grateful for her unflagging enthusiasm and talent for turning notions into fully-realized features and her dedication to keeping all of us on track and moving forward.

Fortunately, Julie Trelstad, who has worked with Robin for years on Buzz Books (and The Trial, and other projects) is stepping up to run the Buzz Books program going forward.
