Writers' Voices with Monica and Caroline kicks off a month of interviews with the authors and editors of the University of Iowa Press this week. Listen in Friday October 5 at 1 pm or Monday October 8 at 8 am as Holly Carver, director of Iowa’s only university press (www.uiowapress.org ), discusses how she and her staff choose books for publication.

As Director of the University of Iowa Press, Ms. Carver is responsible for acquisitions and finance for 35-40 titles per year.

In addition to acting as liaison between the Press and university administration, she works closely with in-house colleagues to coordinate all stages of editing, design, production, and marketing for each title. She is also directing the Press' ventures into electronic publishing.
Prior to joining the U of I Press in 1985, Ms. Carver was a manuscript editor at the University of Texas Press in Austin.
