Authors Alliance executive director Michael Wolfe

Over the last few years, it has been my privilege to work with Authors Alliance and to help the organization launch, grow, and thrive. It is vital that our community of authors working in the public interest has the voice and support their contributions merit, and helping realize that vision is as rewarding a task I could ever hope to have.

Going forward, however, I will be working toward many of these same goals in a new capacity and from a new perspective as I step down as executive director at the end of the year. Beginning in 2017, my primary commitment will be to a new position with a university library. Fortunately, this transition will not be the end of my time at Authors Alliance, as I will continue to be an active member of our community and contributor toward our efforts.

We are now beginning the process of finding the best candidate to move the Authors Alliance effort forward, and I encourage our members and allies to share the job listing, available here, widely. In the meantime, I am committed to driving all of our various efforts forward without delay. Authors Alliance has a great deal of exciting new resources and initiatives to share in the near future, and I remain confident that the organization has a bright and impactful future.
