Erika Stevens

After nearly two decades of working with academic and independent presses, Erika Stevens is currently engaged with colleagues old and new in conversations about ways to upend traditional, inequitable publishing models. She worked with Coffee House Press in various editorial capacities for twelve years, most recently as editorial director shepherding the press’s lists and acquisitions program. Academic presses she has worked with include the University of Georgia Press, Duke University Press, UNC Press, and the University Press of Florida. She has taught in the Graduate Program in Book Publishing at Portland State University and in the Sierra Nevada College MFA program. Authors she has worked with have been awarded or nominated for the National Book Award, the Hurston Wright Award, the Kingsley and Kate Tufts Award, the PEN/Osterweil Award, the Whiting Award, the Kate Tufts award, the NBCC Award, and others.
