Steve Finbow
I’m gonna die in the next 60+ years, possibly before the weekend. Why should I (or anyone) run my (their) eyes across your story’s texty thighs?

Kari Kamin: We know you are an editor with the University of Wisconsin Press, but will you share what your job entails?
Raphael Kadushin: What I am is the acquisitions editor. I am responsible for finding manuscripts that I think are a good fit for us, signing them. Signing the authors and then working on sort of developing the manuscripts if I feel they need some work.
