“It’s an emotional moment to think about stepping away from this beloved press that has allowed me to flourish over so many years,” she said. “It’s been a marvelous adventure and I am so grateful to all the incredible individuals I have had the pleasure of working with, from the exceptional staff and board to all our cherished and talented writers….Thanks to the generosity of our supporters the press is in robust shape, ready for a fresh vision to guide it to its new chapter.”

Board of directors chair Cathy Polasky will lead a search committee for a successor. “We celebrate Fiona’s twenty-seven years of dedication to the organization and recognize the enormous future potential of Graywolf,” she said. “Fiona herself has often told us that change is opportunity, so we look forward to ensuring that new leadership builds on the strength that she has helped to create while forging new paths for Graywolf.”
