Now it can be told....

For those who don't yet know: This has been in the works for about 2 weeks, but the official announcement from my boss only went to the rest of my workplace today, so now I can post it here publicly.

It is with great sadness that I announce that after 6-1/2 exceptional years with the MIT Press Production department, [chanaleh] will be leaving to pursue another job opportunity.

[chanaleh] joined the Production department in January 1999. Her superior communication and technical skills have been a huge contributor to the department's electronic vision. Her wonderful and kind manner will be greatly missed!

That's right: I've accepted another job offer. I'll be finishing up at MIT on Sept. 7th, and have the following week off.

I'm going to A K Peters (in Wellesley) as a Senior Production Editor, where I'll get to do a lot of the same basic sorts of things as I do now, but expand in both the editorial and design directions.

I'm a bit nerve-wracked, and sad to leave MIT, but also excited about the opportunity.

So, uh, if anyone wants any discounted MITP books before I leave, speak now. :-)

( in other news, my schedule between now and leaving for Israel )

So, uh, if anyone wants any souvenirs from Israel, speak now!
