Meet the Interns: Promotion, Publicity, and A Portrait…

The Teaching Press had 21 students working as interns and staff in Fall 2023. We’re featuring their work in small batches—the same  way we print books at the Press! 

This team of Fall 2023 interns focused on creating engagement and interest in our books, especially our 2022 titles Call Me Morgue and Wandering Toft Point: A Nature Journal. They brainstormed memes and campaigns—one even took a road trip up to Toft Point for blog and social media content.  They also fact-checked and copyedited the page proofs of A Portrait of Grief and Courage: Hmong Oral Histories and Folktales.  for which they created the Media Kit, designing the project web page, writing  blog posts, and conducting  the author interview.

 

Mimi and Rupert Books: Our New Imprint Takes Wing

The signs of spring have arrived at UWGB.  On our Green Bay campus, Peregrine falcons nest atop the David A Cofrin Library.  One pair of falcons began nesting there in 2017 to lay eggs and teach their fledglings to fly. This first falcon couple was named “Mimi” and “Rupert,” and their descendants have now brought three new fledglings into the world.

Through the falcon cam , UW-Green Bay students, staff, and nature lovers all over the planet can enjoy and encourage the growth of this delicate species.  (You can even help name the new chicks each year.)

Mimi and Rupert’s annual return inspired the name of our first imprint at The Teaching Press, Mimi & Rupert Books. What is an imprint? you may ask. An imprint is a division of publishing dedicated to specific projects. Mimi  & Rupert Books interlace art and words, voice and image, into finely crafted, collaborative and inspiring stories.  Continue reading
