The UNM Press and College of University Libraries and Learning Sciences have announced the appointment of Stephen Hull as the new director of UNM Press and professor of practice in publishing, following a national search, effective September 17.
Hull's 35-year career in book publishing most recently includes nine years at Dartmouth College, as editor and publisher at the University Press of New England. He began his career with the college division of Little, Brown & Co., before moving to Allyn & Bacon, a division of Simon and Schuster.
With independent publisher Zoland Books, Inc., Hull worked with many well-known novelists, poets and non-fiction writers including Ha Jin, Sheila Kohler, Kevin Young, André Brink and others.
In 2002, he founded the independent trade publisher Justin, Charles & Co., discovering and introducing writers such as Harry Shearer, Scarlett Thomas, Richard Marinick and Boris Fishman, as well as publishing prize-winning authors such as Nina Fitzpatrick and Ken Bruen.
At the University Press of New England, Hull founded several new series including 'Seafaring America.' He also published original works, reissues and anthologies bearing on America's maritime heritage; and ForeEdge Books, a new imprint of general interest non-fiction with regional roots and national resonance.
