Suzanna Tamminen ’90

Suzanna Tamminen ’90, MALS ’94 was named director of the Wesleyan University Press. With 15 years of experience in scholarly publishing, most recently as the Press’s associate director and editor-in-chief from 1997 to 2004, she was the interim director since last summer. Her recent notable acquisitions include last year’s National Book Award winner in poetry, Door in the Mountain, by Jean Valentine. “I like being in a job that allows me to see a project from the first kernel of an idea to the finished project,” she says. “It’s really the whole process I enjoy—and it’s never the same. Each book finds its way into the world differently. It’s a process that requires critical thinking at every step.”
